These 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.
