Recipe Notes

Instead of spraying the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, you could line it with parchment paper.

Save the ends of the asparagus to make homemade vegetable stock.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.

Here's how to make it:

On a floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle about double its original size. Cut into six squares.
Put the asparagus into a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
Put about 3 or 4 asparagus spears onto the puff pastry shells and roll up from the corners. Press to seal. Place them on a baking sheet that's been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Brush the pastry with the beaten egg. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven until puffed and golden brown, about 12 to15 minutes.
