These vegan asparagus rice paper parcels<\/strong> are the perfect spring idea: crispy, light, and filled with tender green asparagus, a savoury smoked tofu cream and a sweet mustard dressing \u2014 ready in just minutes from the air fryer or oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I'll probably make no friends with this opinion here in Germany \u2014 but I prefer green asparagus to white<\/strong>. No peeling, a lovely bite, beautiful colour. Simply better. Now that my preferences are clear, let's get to the more exciting part of this recipe: the \"pastry\".<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These tasty asparagus parcels aren't made the classic way with puff pastry, but with rice paper. Yes, you read that right! Rice paper isn't only for summer rolls \u2014 prepared correctly, it can imitate baked dough. I was sceptical at first too, and of course it isn't quite the same as a flaky, baked puff pastry. But it's a great alternative: it gets crispy <\/strong>when baked, is much lighter than puff pastry, <\/strong>completely oil-free <\/strong>and gluten-free.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For the filling, the green asparagus is paired with a savoury smoked tofu cream<\/strong> \u2014 a plant-based homage to asparagus wrapped in ham, I guess? Add a sweet mustard dressing <\/strong>for that special finishing touch. The result: a light, elegant starter or side that tastes like spring.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n The ingredient list for the asparagus parcels is short and you don't need any unusual specialty products. A few important pointers and tips for choosing them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lay out all your ingredients before you start, and you'll be done in no time. Then begin with the green asparagus by rinsing it and removing the woody ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip:<\/strong> You don't need a knife to remove the woody ends \u2014 just snap them off; the asparagus will break exactly where the woody part ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you only have round rice paper<\/strong>, after soaking fold the sides in four times slightly to form a rectangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also leave out the almond paste<\/strong> (Step 4) and simply layer two soaked rice paper sheets on top of each other. The end result will be less dough-like look \u2014 it will be slightly translucent instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don't skip the mustard dressing <\/strong>\u2014 it provides the perfect contrast to the savoury filling of the asparagus parcels. If you're not a mustard fan, pesto<\/a> or another fresh sauce makes a great alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n These tasty vegan asparagus parcels are perfect on their own with the mustard dressing as a starter or finger food \u2014 but you can also pair them with these sides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fresh asparagus parcels taste best straight after baking, when the rice paper is at its crispiest. I don't recommend freezing them, as the rice paper unfortunately turns soft when thawed.<\/p> <\/div> They're best served fresh from the oven. If you have leftovers, they keep covered in the fridge for about 2 days. Reheat briefly in the air fryer or oven before eating or enjoy cold.<\/p> <\/div> There's no really good replacement for the tofu itself. However, you can swap the smoked tofu mixture for a savoury vegan spread or vegan pesto<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n I hope you\u2019ll give this recipe for egg-free vegan asparagus parcels a try.
