How to Cut Asparagus
If you are preparing a recipe with fresh asparagus, follow these steps for how to cut asparagus to get rid of those woody ends.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 cutting board
Instructions
- Rinse the asparagus to get rid of any dirt and debris.
- Using just one asparagus spear, bend the asparagus about an inch up from the bottom. The asparagus will snap right where the woody end begins and it needs to be trimmed.
