Puff Pastry Asparagus

Puff Pastry Asparagus is a fun recipe to make as an appetizer, with a meal, or for a party. These bundles of deliciousness are delicious at all times of the year but especially around the holidays or during early spring when Asparagus is in season. I also make a lemon aioli dipping sauce for this and it is the perfect accompaniment!! The flavor of lemon pairs so nicely with asparagus and it is just perfection – * chefs kiss *

This recipe is able to please a wide range of diets, because there are a few variations you can make. It is vegetarian with just the puff pastry and asparagus. This can be gluten free, keto, and paleo by omitting the puff pastry, and wrapping them just in prosciutto instead. Or it can even be vegan by eliminating the puff pastry and creating a vegan version of the dip with vegan mayo.

What part of asparagus do you not eat?

You can eat the whole asparagus spear except for the purple-ish brown part on the bottom. If you hold the asparagus spear on each end firmly, you can gently bend the asparagus so that it bows out away from you. It will naturally split off the part that you should not eat.
