Preguntas frecuentes sobre recetas

→ ¿Puedo usar espárragos congelados en lugar de frescos?

Se recomienda usar espárragos frescos para obtener la mejor textura crujiente. Los espárragos congelados contienen más humedad y pueden resultar blandos al hornear.

→ ¿Cómo puedo hacer esta ensalada sin gluten?

Simplemente sustituye el pan rallado regular por pan rallado sin gluten certificado. El resto de ingredientes son naturalmente libres de gluten.

→ ¿Puedo preparar los espárragos con anticipación?

Los espárragos se disfrutan mejor recién horneados para mantener su textura crujiente. Si necesitas prepararlos con antelación, recaliéntalos en el horno a 200°C durante 5 minutos.

→ ¿Qué otros quesos puedo usar además del asiago?

Puedes usar parmesano adicional, pecorino romano, o grana padano. Todos aportan ese sabor salado y umami que complementa los espárragos perfectamente.

→ ¿Cómo evito que el rebozado se caiga de los espárragos?

Asegúrate de secar bien los espárragos antes de rebozar, presiona firmemente la mezcla de queso y pan rallado, y no los muevas durante los primeros 10 minutos de horneado.

→ ¿Puedo hacer el aderezo de limón con antelación?

Sí, el aderezo se puede preparar hasta con 3 días de anticipación y guardar en el refrigerador en un frasco hermético. Agita bien antes de usar.
