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…
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.


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:


- Jacket potatoes or peeled and boiled potatoes

- Baguette or gluten-free bread (ideal for dunking asparagus juice / asparagus butter!)
