As a busy housewife, I'm always looking for easy and delicious recipes that I can make for my family. This recipe for Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus is perfect because it's simple to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the phyllo dough is crispy and flaky.

I love to serve this dish as a side dish with roasted chicken or fish. It's also great as an appetizer or snack. And the best part is that it can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve.

Here are a few tips for making this recipe:

  • Be sure to trim the tough ends off the asparagus before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. It should be tender but still have a little bit of a crunch.
  • Use good quality Parmesan cheese. It will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • If you don't have chipotle pepper, you can substitute another type of chili pepper. Or, you can omit it altogether.

  • Enjoy!

    Step-by-step

      • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
      • Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus.
      • Heat a pan of water to boiling, add salt, and boil the asparagus for a few minutes until almost tender.
      • Drain and pat dry the asparagus, then let cool.
      • Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half if the sheets are big.
      • Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a cutting board, brush with melted butter or olive oil, and place an asparagus spear on the phyllo sheet.
      • Sprinkle with Parmesan, chipotle pepper (optional), salt, and pepper.
      • Fold the corner of the other end over the asparagus.
      • Roll up the asparagus in the phyllo dough, jelly-roll style.
      • Place the asparagus bundles seam side down on a baking sheet and brush with melted butter or olive oil.
      • Repeat steps 5-10 until all the asparagus spears are wrapped.
      • Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
      • Sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chipotle pepper before serving.
