Instructions
The evening before, put your puff pastry into the refrigerator to thaw overnight.
Wash & break the hard ends off the asparagus pieces.
Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into long strips that are about the same width as the pieces of asparagus.
Holding the base of the asparagus, squish one end of the puff pastry around the base of the asparagus and wrap the remaining piece of the puff pastry up the stalk of the asparagus. Don't worry about wrapping too tightly, as the puff pastry will be entwined into the asparagus when it bakes.
Ensure that the pieces of puff pastry aren't touching on the baking sheet.
Brush milk over puff pastry pieces to help with browning.
Bake for 20 minutes at 400F.
Remove from the oven after baking, and immediately sprinkle Parmesan and black pepper on each piece.
