Cooking Tips
🌿 Asparagus
- Snap off the woody ends naturally — they break where the tender part starts.
- Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes for the best caramelization.
- Thin spears cook faster and are better for stir-fries; thick spears are best roasted.
Nutrition: Rich in folate, vitamins A, C, K, and fiber. Six spears have only 20 calories.
Storage: Stand upright in a jar with 1 inch of water in the fridge for up to 5 days.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
