My neighbor just dropped off a pound of fresh asparagus from his garden so I’m making this for a party this weekend. Silly question – can I cut the spears into thirds so they’ll be bite size? (I know, really silly question) It’s just that my favorite part of the spear is the tippy top and I’m afraid guests will choose those first.
Yes, you can cut them into smaller pieces and make them bite-sized! Same cooking instructions regardless of the size of the pieces.
