How to Make Asparagus Puff Pastry Snacks

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine cream cheese (or feta), lemon zest (optional), and lemon juice (optional – add cautiously, a teaspoon at a time, until desired flavor is reached) in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
  3. Trim the ends off the asparagus spears and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  4. Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 2-inch squares.
  5. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each square.
  6. Top with 2-3 pieces of asparagus.
  7. Fold the puff pastry square over the filling to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
  8. Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the asparagus is tender.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
