When at the store, here are some tips on what to look for when picking asparagus so you get the freshest bunch:
When I say prepping asparagus is easy, I really mean easy! Simply hold up one of the asparagus spears and snap off the end. This gives you an estimate of where to cut the rest of your asparagus. Line them up on a cutting board and cut off the ends.
Alternatively, if you have some time and want to get your kids involved, you can have them snap off each of the asparagus ends individually.

Every stalk of asparagus has a tough, woody end that should be removed before roasting. Where this woody section stops and starts varies from stalk to stalk.

It takes a little longer, but not much, and it ensures you only remove the tough portions of each stalk, resulting in less waste and guaranteed tenderness on every stalk.
To extend the life of your fresh (uncooked) asparagus spears, start by removing the woody stems. Then, place your trimmed spears in a glass or jar with an inch or two of water. Place a plastic bag over the top of the spears, then refrigerate them for up to 5 days. Replace the water as needed.

If your oven-roasted asparagus turns out mushy, it is most likely overcooked. It is also possible that you crowded the pan with too much asparagus, so the air could not circulate properly.

Likely you left too much of the tough, woody end on the asparagus. I recommend bending each spear so that it breaks at the right place.
While you can purchase asparagus at the store year-round, it is at its peak in the spring, especially March and April. Asparagus you can buy in the winter tends to be more shriveled, lacks flavor, and (if you live in the U.S.) it has been shipped from long distances.
While some recipes recommend parboiling asparagus before roasting, I do not find that it makes a huge difference so long as the asparagus is fresh, you trim the asparagus properly, and cook according to the instructions I’ve provided.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to prepare fresh asparagus is to simply blanch them for a couple of minutes and toss them with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon zest.
Boiling them for only a couple of minutes ensures that the asparagus will be cooked through, but still crisp and vibrant green. Asparagus should have a gentle crunch to them; they should not be mushy.

A little lemon zest helps brighten the natural flavor of the asparagus, and the Parm and olive oil? Well, of course, they make everything taste good.
The best asparagus is fresh. To tell if asparagus is fresh, look for stalks that are a rich, deep green color that get lighter toward the end of the stalk. The stalks should be firm to the touch. Pass by any stalks that are limp or dry with cracked ends. The tips of the asparagus should be tightly closed and the stalks should be uniform for even cooking.
It’s always important to clean fresh produce before preparing it. Asparagus can have grit in its tips, so the first thing you should do is rinse it under cold water. Then you can prepare asparagus for cooking.

Remove the tough end from the rest of the stalk by either cutting or snapping it off. If using a knife, cut 1/2 inch to 1 inch off the bottom, depending on where the green fades into white. If you're snapping the tough end off, bend the thicker end of the stalk to see where it snaps naturally.
Or, you can cut off about a quarter-inch of the bottom of the stalk and peel a thin layer of skin off the lower half of the stalk with a vegetable peeler. The asparagus is now ready for your recipe.
Blanching is a cooking technique that partially cooks food. It’s commonly used with vegetables like asparagus. Vegetables are put in a pot of boiling water for a very short time, usually under 5 minutes, and then plunged into a bowl of ice water to quickly stop them from continuing to cook. Blanching makes the outside of a vegetable tender while the inside remains fairly crisp. It also helps keep color bright.

You can blanch asparagus when you want to serve it immediately, or you can blanch it before freezing it. Most fresh vegetables benefit from blanching before freezing because the process stops enzymes that would otherwise cause the vegetable to lose flavor, color, and texture over time while frozen.
