Keep the skins on your asparagus for maximum flavor! #gordonramsay 

I've never peeled asparagus... What?

Pan cook em with olive oil and garlic, finish with fresh grated parm

I just snap the bottoms to remove the unedible part

Martha Stewart taught me to roast asparagus in the oven with olive oil and salt. squeeze of lemon after they are cooked.

I've made asparagus 100s of times. I've never steamed and I've boiled maybe a couple times. Pan fried, baked or grilled

Grill asparagus. You’re welcome.

Butter in pan, add asparagus, ad garlic. SnP. Done. Love them that way. I never boiled them before.

Ive never heard of peeling asparagus 😂

As a German, this man just broke my heart.

Love to cook them with butter and lots of garlic

Stuff grew wild where I grew up. You could pick a gallon bucket of it whenever you wanted during the summer time.

I usually use the snap method... but I've never peeled them ever... but I've never had the white ones.

If you grip the bottom, and brace the top, bend until it snaps, it will break precisely at the point they should be cut.

If this man had ever grown his own asparagus, he would know that the tough part at the thick end does not "stick in the ground." It's above ground.

I didn't know people peeled them. Why? The really thin baby ones are good raw.

I have only roasted asparagus it’s the only way I’ve ever known to eat it.

“beautiful nice round tip .” sounds familiar 😊

He learnt this yesterday

I never noticed that Gordon is left handed! I was today years old when I learned that. Wow!

I notice this in a lot of cookbooks older than 30 years old, I think back then most vegetables were heavily preferred soft compared to al dente and blanching was just part of the process. The reason you'd peel is because when asparagus starts to get out of season and you blanch them the outside will still be tough and stringy while the inside is cooked soft. You can definitely get the skin soft with time but the inside will be mush by then. Honestly I prefer to cook in a pan but some vegetables like carrots I prefer cooked soft like this. Blanching is also pretty essential if you want to freeze asparagus from your garden as well as many other veggies.

I’ve never steamed or boiled asparagus and I eat it several times a year

I do the skin of an asparagus, but we don't have the green ones (we have the white variety). Takes a little skill to do it right. The peels go into the refrigerator and can be use to make asparagus soup.

Try sautéing them with mushrooms and you will never go back. Cut into 1” lengths, in butter.

I have always wondered this and you are the first Chef to show it so straight forwardly. Thank you! 😊

Cut the ends off, wash, sprinkle with pepper. 425 for 20 minutes. Very basic and simple, but perfect every time and really taste the asparagus.

I usually make them with some butter and garlic in a pan after cooking a steak in said pan.

I peel the asparagus, keep the shavings. toss them in oil salt garlic powder and pepper, bake in 400° oven. Toss the cooked shavi gs in parm cheese and a squeeze of half a lemon

Ive never even heard of skining an asparagus....

Pan cook with olive oil chopped prosciutto little bit of garlic and drizzle good balsamic vinegar.. delicious

I've always roasted, grilled, or sautéed asparagus. Never steamed or boiled. Also, it's much more fun to snap off the base rather than cutting it.

I dont even cut them. I let the stem Tell me where it wants to be broken and I break them with my hands and it’s always in the “joint” between the hard part and the soft part. And I fry them in a pan with olive oil and garlic and some salt and pepper… they don’t need more then that.

I actually eat the bottom part. It may not be edible, but it's eatable. Besides, I spent money to buy it.

Please peel white asparagus, guys. They're literally inedible otherwise.

the smell after is amazing too!

"feeling for the asparagus" "take off two inches" "come up two inches" :skull:

I pan fry them in olive oil and some SPG (salt pepper garlic). It's soooooo good. I like it high heat, so you get a nice char on the outside and still crunch in the middle.

"Oven Roast" Or "Pan Fry" Good work, these people know how it's done.

99/100 times I see them in chinese menus stir fried. Taste great.

I actually learned about the problem with asparagus from my sister. She learned of a fried asparagus recipe, tried it herself and liked it, so she later made some for the rest of the family, explaining to those of us that were hesitant because we didn't like asparagus his most restaurants steam them, but frying them gives them a much different taste. We all tried it and liked it. We've found similar for a lot of vegetables, including brussel sprouts, and now we rarely eat plain boiled vegetables, either roasting, frying, or sauteing them, and with one exception, our whole family, majority of our extended family included, all like vegetables more than before, even those that already liked vegetables

Didn't even know you could skin asparagus

Peeled boiled asparagus must be one of those lovely British dishes I’ve heard so much about

Roasted asparagus, with Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb, until crispy is my favorite (goes great alongside broccoli, green beans, onion wedges, potatoes, etc.). 425F for 20-30 minutes depending on your oven and veggie size. I like a little char on 'em.

Wrap em in foil. Salt pepper and a little bit o oil. Throw them on the grill till your liking. May take a few attempts for temp and time per grill for the texture, but ive noticed that at 15 min, at a nice med-high, (same temp for burgers steaks salmon etc) gives you a light crunch but still its nice and soft.

Roasted Gordon. Roasted is amazing. Little bit of olive oil salt, pepper. They come out tasting like candy. Same for brussle sprouts.

They're really easy to grill, little olive oil some salt and pepper so tasty

My dad usually puts them on the barbecue wrapped in bacon. Soooo good

I find that for asparagus tips, simply coat in olive oil, salt and chopped garlic and place under the grill for a few minutes

Julia Child peeled the bottom part rather than discarding it.

i grill the green (very shortly) and steam the white very gently. and i only peel the white ones.

we used to have wild asparagus that grew all around our hunting cabin. It never got big but man was it tastier than store bought.

I didn't know you could peel them. I just bend the ends until they snap, drizzle olive oil on them. add some salt/pepper and bake them.

Sautéed is in simple spices and olive oil is The white 1s are my fav .the best way to eat them with a touch of hollandaise yummy.

You actually can eat the entire stem of asparagus. You just have to sautee the part furrher from the tip a little longer.

All I do is rinse them off, put some olive oil on them, and some salt and pepper and grill them. Taste like a greasy cheeseburger to me. It’s amazing.

"The flavor is in that skin" -pervy ramsey

I like to air fry them with just olive oil, salt & pepper. So good and simple

I like how it makes me smell afterwards

I only ever lightly sauté them in butter. Unless I use them in a soup or stew.

The best asparagus are the ones you grow.👍

I like to saute my asparagus in a pan with a little bit of garlic and butter no steaming no boiling

Spargelzeit 🎉🥳😁

You have to peel white asparagus though. Unless you enjoy the flavour of dirt

I grill them with a little olive oil and lemon pepper. My wife had never eaten asparagus until I grilled her some and now her and her dad ask for it when we are grilling.

I rather prefer younger, thinner asparagus, as it tends to be more tender. But boiling or steaming, while they do the job, are not optimal. Air fryer for the win.

Sheet pan, olive oil, salt and pepper

It's nice learning from Ramsey when he's not screaming

Basically GR showed us WHERE to cut an asparagus at the bottom tip, not remove the skin off & forgot to mention what is the next best alternative to boiling/steaming asparagus to retain flavour. Yet his play of words is what gets us, he is a magnificent storyteller.

Thank you Gordon for the tip

One of my favourite meals to cook is honey and garlic salmon and garlic asparagus, I NEVER boil or steam my asparagus, I always pan fry for 5mins then add them to the baking tray with my salmon to roast and it’s beautiful every time

I always prefered roasting asparagus or broccoli over steaming.

The base is NOT where the asparagus sticks in the ground.

I cut it at the point where it fits in my pan :)

Throw them in a pan for a few minutes with butter, salt and some soy sauce, so yummy

From childhood, one of my favorite veg. Especially on toast with cheese sauce!

I roast or grill mine, and grilling is the best I've found

A good sear on high heat them and they have this amazing nutty flavor.

Not once have I ever peeled asparagus......I don't think anyone does. Pan cooked with oil, garlic, lemon juice and seasoning.

You just bend it, where it snaps is where its soft

Highly seasonal except the store flies it in from Peru

Bake with oil, garlic, pepper, and salt.

Asparagus is my favorite vegetable. That and bean sprouts. Yummy!.

That’s way more than 2 inches

Who has been peeling asparagus?

We put some olive oil on ours and salt and pepper em put em in the oven and cook till the start to get crispy

I fry my Asparagus in butter and garlic.

Gotta love a beautiful round tip!

I did not even know that people took the skins off?

Oh my goodness me. Gordon: yes

Boiling asparagus will take the flavour out of them, steaming them wont.

TIL there are people who skin their asparagus.

He's probably talking to his American audience. The rest of the world knows already.

Or just peel only the hard part.

I throw them on my George Foreman grill. They taste great! Never peeled an asparagus ever. Just snap off the tough bottom portion.

There's nothing wrong with the 2", kings. Heads up.

OH OF COURSE! I'll be sure to keep those ends for all those stocks I make so regularly! 😊

That's what she said.

Never heard of it being boiled or steamed, I've always panfried it in garlic and butter...

I love roasting asparagus!

Green with, white without the skin. Easy.

I eat the whole thing and im as healthy as can be you can definitely eat it 😂
