Can you refrigerate cooked asparagus?

  • You can refrigerate cooked asparagus, covered for 3-4 days – however, cooked asparagus is best eaten within the first couple of days before it gets too soft

How long can I store fresh asparagus?

  • You can typically store fresh asparagus for 5-7 days. If it gets slimy then it is going bad

Is there a way to make my fresh asparagus stay fresh longer?

  • You can wrap fresh asparagus tightly in foil to help preserve it for a little longer

Tips and tricks for making this asparagus side dish…

  • For a crunchy top, you can sprinkle panko bread crumbs or fried onion bits over the cheese before baking
