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.
