1. What to consider when buying and preparing Asparagus
When shopping, please prefer local asparagus. Local asparagus is healthier and has no mileage account! The German asparagus season begins in April and ends on 24 June on St John’s Day. St John’s Day is popularly known as the Asparagus New Year’s Eve.
Local asparagus is healthier than imported goods!
1.1 How to recognize fresh asparagus?
You can recognize good and fresh asparagus by its shiny skin and closed asparagus heads. Fresh asparagus has no brown spots…
Asparagus fresh, the ends should not be dried.
1.2 Peel asparagus properly
You can peel the asparagus just like a professional chef:
- Start by peeling the white asparagus about 3 cm below the tips.
- Only peel green asparagus about 5 cm at the end.
Here a picture to the correct asparagus peel:
Peel asparagus like a pro: Grasp the tip of the asparagus spear with your fingers. Place the asparagus spear over your hand on your wrist. While peeling, turn the asparagus spear with your fingers and remove the peel evenly with the pendulum peeler. By placing the asparagus spear on the hand and wrist, the asparagus gets a stable surface when peeling and does not break!
Use a sharp pendulum peeler to peel the asparagus, then it will work smoothly!
2. Prepare Asparagus in the Oven
You can either fry the asparagus in the oven or cook it in a closed container or in aluminium foil in its own juice.
The recipe asparagus roasted in the oven shows you the variant asparagus with roasted aromas, the asparagus tastes like grilled.
The variant asparagus in its own juice, in aluminium foil, I show you here in the recipe.
For both variants, you don’t have to precook the asparagus. That saves working time and energy…
3. Asparagus in Aluminium Foil Step by Step Instructions
I like the preparation of asparagus in aluminium foil, that is practical and sure to work. Who pays attention to the environmental aspect can also use a lockable roaster with lid! Here are the steps with photos:
I’ll show you how to peel the asparagus thoroughly in the article above.

Now seal the asparagus in the aluminium foil and cook the asparagus packets in the oven at 190 °C top/bottom heat for 25-30 minutes.
Asparagus side dishes in the oven
As a side dish to the asparagus in the oven, I recommend you:
- Jacket potatoes or peeled and boiled potatoes
- Oven potatoes (cut into quarters and cook in the oven with the asparagus!)
- Baguette or gluten-free bread (ideal for dunking asparagus juice / asparagus butter!)
With the sauces I recommend you first the suitable sauce Hollandaise. I serve the asparagus from the oven cooked in aluminium foil preferably with fresh and finely grated Parmesan or Pecorino additionally sprinkled with cress or chive rolls…
Baked asparagus with chives sauce, you can serve this dish as finger food in bowls.
Asparagus grilled in the oven, the difference to baked asparagus is the missing crispy layer of dough. Recipe fried asparagus…
