Rich and flaky puff pastry wrapped around asparagus and baked to perfection! Try our take on a classic asparagus tart that the whole family will love. This recipe is by far the most delicious way to enjoy asparagus.

Puff Pastry Asparagus Recipe

Over the years, my kiddos have gotten better at eating their vegetables. Back in the day I used to search for recipes that would both delight their taste buds and add some veggie goodness to their plates. It’s always a win in my book when they clear their plates and eat every last bit of their greens. The CDC recommends that children get 1-3 cups of vegetables per day, depending on their age and other factors. Meanwhile, us adults need 5-13 servings. That’s a lot! Based on these recommendations, picky kids aren’t the only ones who can benefit from creative ways to eat vegetables. I love keeping all kinds of veggie recipes on hands to keep the green part of our plates interesting at the dinner table.

These puff pastry asparagus roll-ups are just plain delicious. Full stop. I mean, come on — the combination of the butter, flaky puff pastry dough with tender roasted asparagus is enough to make my mouth water. The great thing about this recipe is that they can be made for any occasion. They make an impressive party food, they’ll wow guests at dinners, and they’re quick and easy enough to make for your family on weeknights. Plus, you can even get the kids in the kitchen to help! Their little hands would be great for rolling the asparagus up in the dough. I’m totally a sucker for recipes that can get the whole family involved.

The cheese makes these puff pastry asparagus roll-ups over-the-top delicious. I feel like I could add cheese to anything, and my kids would get excited about it. I used an Italian cheese blend, but you could substitute parmesan, mozzarella, or even white cheddar in a pinch. Any sharp white cheese complements this dish perfectly. You can even grate more cheese on top when they’re still hot after you take them out of the oven. YUM!

Can you swap out crescent rolls for puff pastry?

Absolutely! Crescent roll dough is a perfect substitute if you don’t have puff pastry on hand. They are basically pre-cut versions of puff pastry, and have more flavor, too! Even if you do have puff pastry, I recommend you try this recipe out with a can of crescent roll dough at some point to mix things up. My whole family loves Pillsbury crescent rolls, and I’m sure your family won’t complain either!

How do I bake puff pastry?

A good rule of thumb when baking puff pastry is to not over-handle the dough. You will only need to roll it out gently to get the desired thickness, so make sure you don’t overdo it. If you mess with the dough too much, it could turn out dense and tough instead of light and flaky, so keep that in mind! I like having the kids help me with this recipe, but sometimes it’s best if I do the rolling out and the kids are in charge of wrapping them up in the rectangles of dough. When you’re checking the puff pastry asparagus for doneness, look for a light golden color on the pastry. That’s how you’ll know they are perfectly baked!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound asparagus (about 12 asparagus), trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 (17.3 ounce) box puff pastry, thawed (or use Crescent Rolls)
• ½ cup shredded Italian cheese blend
• 1 egg, beaten

3. Place 2 asparagus on each rectangle diagonally. Sprinkle the asparagus with salt and black pepper as desired. Top with a sprinkle of cheese.
4. Fold the opposite ends of the puff pastry over the asparagus. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Brush the puff pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with additional salt and black pepper if desired.
6. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden.

High Protein Breakfast Ideas

Why Eat a High Protein Breakfast?

Guys, I did it. I am back down to my pre-baby weight! After having my twins 18 months ago, I wanted to lose weight fast, and I knew I had to start with eating right. Now that I’ve accomplished my goal, I want to help others who are struggling with their pregnancy weight loss. While it wasn’t insanely difficult, it did take about six weeks of dedication and steadfast commitment. Besides fitness, the most important thing I changed was my diet, and adding high protein breakfast foods to my days made the world of a difference!

My Plan for Fast Weight Loss

I wanted to incorporate exercise into my weekly routine to make losing weight a lot faster, so I joined Orange Theory in September 2018. By late February 2019, I hadn’t lost much weight, but that didn’t concern me too much. Muscle is denser than fat —while they weigh the same, muscle takes up much less space —and I saw incredible changes in muscle and in my muscle tone. After six months of getting my body fit and toned, I turned my attention to my diet.

Following a High Protein Diet for Weight Loss

During the time I was breastfeeding, I was eating an entire pack of OREOs every two to three days (I wasn’t sharing either!). I needed the calories, but the sugar and fat were definitely not helping. I was only ten pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, so I decided it was time to take the plunge and get rid of the remaining weight. Beach season was rapidly approaching and I wanted to look my bikini body best!

Counting calories is a huge no-no for me, but I made a point to eat less and in moderation. My most important meals were breakfast and lunch, which I made sure were packed with protein and nutrient-dense. Usually, I would have a protein shake or a protein bar to make it a quick, easy, nutritious meal replacement. I didn’t snack in between meals (getting Invisalign during this time helped with that), and then I ate the same dinner my family had. If they had fajitas, I traded the tortilla for lettuce for a healthy, low-calorie meal. If they ate pulled pork sandwiches, I tossed my pork over salad or only took half a bun to cut back on carbs without sacrificing protein.

My Quick Weight Loss Diet

By being strict on my diet plan to lose weight, I was able to do it QUICKLY (that was important —because we all want to lose weight fast and easily) and effectively. I drank a lot of Bubly, which has zero calories and zero sweeteners BUT the fizz and taste help curb my cravings! Focusing on eating a healthy protein breakfast helped me the most because it was the easiest way to get off on the right foot and maintain my cravings during the day.

Best Weight Loss Protein Products

My favorite morning protein powder for healthy protein shakes is BSN SYNTHA-6 Edge Protein Powder in Vanilla Milkshake. Vanilla seems to be the most versatile. I always throw in a very large handful of spinach when I add it to smoothies because you can’t taste it, and your body loves it! Another good shake blend is Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder. If you add a small touch of peppermint extract, it tastes just like mint chocolate chip! Protein bars are by no means a five-star dessert, but they fill you up and get the job done. This Birthday Cake Thin bar was my favorite.

What is a High Protein Breakfast?

To start your day off right, curb cravings, and prevent that dreaded midday crash, you’re going to need lots of protein in your breakfast. If you’re looking for breakfast foods high in protein, make sure your kitchen is stocked with foods like greek yogurt, turkey sausage, eggs, and crunchy peanut butter, which all have 8-20 grams of protein per serving. Having plain yogurt every morning can get pretty tiresome, so I’ve put together a list of the best, quick high protein breakfast recipes for weight loss.

These High Protein Breakfast Ideas are here to give you a jump start to the day. Whether looking for more energy or wanting to drop a few pounds, these are some tasty (and super easy) recipes for you to accomplish your goal. Enjoy!

Energy bites are so easy and flavorful —anyone can make them! These perfect No Bake Energy Bites {Cheerful Choices} pack so much flavor in one bite. Plus, they’re full of protein and fiber to keep snacking at bay.

These Turkey Sausage Spinach Cups {Haute and Healthy Living}  are a great way to pack protein into your day. They’re an easy, portable, and healthy protein breakfast or snack option, and you can even make them ahead of time for hectic days! If you prefer a high protein veggie breakfast without the meat, you can totally leave out the sausage.

If you’re looking for high protein breakfasts for weight loss, perfecting your Soft or Hard Boiled Egg{Wanderings in My Kitchen} is a must. You can make a batch ahead of time and keep them in your fridge for a quick bite. I love this recipe because it shows exactly how many minutes for a delicious soft boiled egg or for the perfect hard boiled egg, no matter what your preference is. They’re my absolute favorite with a sprinkling of some Lawry’s Seasoning Salt on top!

Get your caffeine and protein in one by leveling up your smoothie with protein powder and frozen coffee! Turn on the blender and mix up this Coffee Protein Smoothie{Diethood} for a cool breakfast drink. This smoothie is packed with protein —you’ll be surprised at how filling it really is.
