How Do You Cook Asparagus So Its Not Chewy?
The best way to cook asparagus so it’s not chewy is to use a quick and basic method such as blanching, roasting or grilling. To blanch the asparagus, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the asparagus for 1-2 minutes before immediately transferring them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Roasting or grilling the asparagus with olive oil, salt and pepper for 10-15 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp is also a great option. Avoid overcooking the asparagus as this will lead to a chewy texture.
