    This is the best asparagus appetizer around!

    How to Make Spring Asparagus Tarts This is the easiest puff pasty asparagus recipe around.

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.

    Thawed puff pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet
    Make sure to thaw your puff pastry completely before making this recipe.

    Step 2: Now we are going to make our "puff pastry boat" for the asparagus to sit in. Lay puff pastry out on the prepared baking sheet. Fold edges up to create a ½-inch wide border. Prick the inside base of dough completely with a fork.

    Simply pinch the edges of the puff pastry to form a puff pastry boat

    Make sure to prick the entire dough of the puff pastry. This ensures the dough will cook properly.

    Step 3: Bake in the preheated oven until golden and puffed, about 10 minutes. Press the puffed center down with the back of a fork to deflate.

    Step 5: While the puff pastry boat is cooling, let's make our asparagus. We are only going to blanch cook our asparagus for 60 seconds. That's it! Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until bright green, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Drain.

    🌿 Spring Asparagus Tarts

    If you wanted to make this easy asparagus tart recipe a little different you could turn these into puff pastry bundles by separating the dough into a triangle and folding it over into wraps around the asparagus. You could then add asparagus prosciutto and brie puff pastry bundles asparagus bundles. This is another fun asparagus appetizer idea. Asparagus puff pastry bundles are also fun to make!

    You could also add cream cheese to the puff pastry for a cheesier flavor. You could also make this a asparagus and feta puff pastry tart by adding some feta cheese.

    Recipe FAQ

    Blanching is a cooking technique that calls for quickly scalding foods in boiling water, and then immediately dunking or “shocking” them in ice water to keep them from overcooking. The process seals in color, flavor, and texture by halting the enzyme activity that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables when raw.
