Here are some commonly asked questions
How do I know when my grilled asparagus is done cooking?
When the asparagus is fork-tender, it’s done. Fork-tender means that a fork can be pushed through one of the spears with only some force.
This implies that they are not limp and falling apart when you poke them with a fork. Rather, they hold together when picked up by one end and do not crumble away when handled carefully.
What type of main dish does this recipe go with the best?
Here are some ideas for what to serve with roasted asparagus:
- pork tenderloin
- chicken breast
- filet mignon
- salmon
- shrimp
- scallops
- lamb chops
As you can see, there are many options for the main dish to serve with roasted asparagus. It really depends on what you and your guests are in the mood for.
If you want something light, chicken or fish might be a good option. If you’re looking for something a little more hearty, try pork or beef. No matter what you choose, your guests are sure to enjoy it!
