Did somebody say puff pastry? Yay! I absolutely love anything with puff pastry and these Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles with Roasted Peppers & Goat Cheese are no exception. Loaded with so many simple yet extraordinary flavors, easy to make and done in about 30 minutes.
I like to serve these puff pastry bundles as a tapas appetizer, just because they make for a tasty starter to any meal. But you can always serve them as main course. They go perfect next to some roasted mushrooms and a simple salad.
To make these puff pastry bundles I used some fresh asparagus. The season is ending right about now, but you can almost always find them at your supermarket all year-round. I also used some jarred roasted peppers, a medallion of soft goat cheese and some premade puff pastry dough.
However, what really takes these puff pastry bundles to the next-level in greatness is the addition of some sweet smoked Spanish paprika. This adds a new dimension of flavors to these puff pastry bundles and gives them that beautiful smoky flavor. On a last note, I cut my puff pastry into 6 inch x 6 inch squares, but you can always cut them into 4 inch x 4 inch squares for smaller portions.

30 . May . 2023Took this as an appetizer to a Memorial Day cookout yesterday and it made a huge hit! We’ll definitely be making it again, following the directions as they stand, except the size of each. (We cut the pastry in 3×3 inch squares and they were perfect as an appetizer with two shorter asparagus spears each (will fix the leftover bit we cut off as our veggie with dinner today). All the flavors and textures work so well together and the roasted red pepper really makes it! Makes for a great vegetarian treat.
