Everyone stop what you are doing and put the ingredients for this wrapped asparagus appetizer on your grocery list right now! Maybe it’s because I haven’t had asparagus in a while, or maybe it’s because this asparagus is covered in bread, herbs, and cheese, but you must make this wrapped asparagus!
I’ll be the first to admit, we don’t have very many vegetables at our house. I go through spurts of lots of veggies, and then no veggies at all. My kids are picky eaters, so it’s hard to fight them about it all the time. When I made this wrapped asparagus appetizer, my kids kind of perked up a little bit. “What are those Mom?” “Do they taste good?” “Can I try just a tiny bite?” Sometimes trying out new vegetables gets them excited I guess. Mom-win!
When I was growing up, the only vegetables we had were canned ones: corn, peas, and green beans. Bleh! Thankfully I’ve saved our children from most canned vegetables, and we buy fresh or frozen. They did try these though, and my oldest son liked them with some basic dill dip that my husband threw together. My daughter tried it, and didn’t like it, but that’s okay because my husband and I ate almost all of them for lunch. Haha!
This wrapped asparagus appetizer is so easy to make and so, so pretty! It was really fun to photograph. They would make a really great appetizer for Easter (even though that was last week–I still can’t believe that Easter was in March this year!) or an elegant dinner with friends. Well, whatever you do, grab some asparagus while it’s in the stores, and try these! They are SO delicious!
