Asparagus Puff Pastry Wraps are a great way to show off fresh asparagus with minimal effort. The puff pastry gets golden and flaky while the asparagus stays tender inside. Whether you’re serving them as an appetizer or alongside dinner, they’re an easy win when you want something simple but impressive.
These puff pastry wraps are perfect for spring dinners, brunch spreads, or last-minute entertaining. The buttery pastry crisps up in the oven while the asparagus stays tender inside, giving you great texture with very little effort. They’re easy enough for a weeknight but nice enough to serve to guests.
Helpful Tips
- Trim the asparagus first so the spears fit neatly inside the pastry and cook evenly. Thicker stalks may need a quick blanch before wrapping.
- Keep the puff pastry cold while working with it. Cold pastry puffs better and is easier to cut and wrap.
- Add flavor if you like by sprinkling on grated Parmesan, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning before baking.
