F.For the average home cook, cooking asparagus means one of two things: roasting it in the oven with a dash of lemon and a dash of olive oil, or grilling it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Both are of course delicious. But this stalky vegetable is so much more versatile. And it’s worth finding new ways to include it in your diet, since asparagus is loaded with vitamin K (for heart health), fiber (for regular bowel movements), and folic acid (hello, hair growth); it’s practically a superfood.

So if you are looking for simple asparagus recipes, you’ve come to the right place. From creamy soups to refreshing salads to decadent pasta dishes, there are tons of ways to serve these structured veggies thanks to some of the internet’s most creative chefs. Let’s just say asparagus will soon be your new favorite green product. Below are seven of our most popular asparagus recipes to cook at home that are delicious, nutritious, and easy to serve.

3. Blue cheese fried asparagus

You can’t go wrong with roasting asparagus spears with a little lemon, S&P and olive oil. But if you want to change things up and serve a side dish with a little more flair, consider roasting your veggies with some blue cheese. Gimme Some Oven’s recipe suggests replacing lemon juice with blue cheese sprinkles, but any smelly cheese like gorgonzola or feta could work too. Bake at 400 ° F for 10 minutes and you’re done – you’ve got hearty spears that go well with chicken, salmon, and tofu.
