The Best Ways to Cook Canned Asparagus
Air Fryer
If you have an air fryer like the 10-Quart Kalorik Digital Air Fryer Oven or any other brand, you’re in luck! Follow these simple steps:
- Drain the canned asparagus and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Place the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket or tray.
- Spray them with cooking oil spray and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200C) for 10-12 minutes. Check them after 5 minutes, as air fryers may vary in cooking time.
- No need to flip them. The air fryer will dry them out, making them less mushy with crispy ends.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired and enjoy the best-canned asparagus dish!
Stove Top
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can still make delicious canned asparagus on the stove:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Drain the canned asparagus and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the dried asparagus in the hot skillet and pan-fry for 3-5 minutes. Flip occasionally and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Plate the asparagus and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Oven
You can also bake canned asparagus in the oven:
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
- Drain the canned asparagus and pat them dry with paper towels.
