If you are looking for the best way to cook asparagus then look no further than this Lemon Feta Asparagus. Taking your basic asparagus and turning it up just a notch!
Reheating:
Asparagus reheats extremely fast, you only need about 30 seconds in the microwave or about 2 minutes on the stove. Overcooking asparagus will leave it limp and mushy!
Meal Prep:
Asparagus will last in the fridge up to 6 days.
Freezer-Friendly:
You can freeze cooked asparagus, however, I would recommend slightly undercooking it if you know for sure it is going to be a freezer recipe as that will help it from getting mushy. Also, be sure to allow it to cool completely before freezing.
