What's the best way to freeze asparagus?
Online Answer
The simplest way is to place the blanched, chilled and drained asparagus spears or pieces in freezer bags or containers, label with the date and freeze. If you want the asparagus spears or pieces to remain loose and not stick together (so that you can take out just what you need), flash freeze them first.
