The sun is tickling our necks, the smell of cherry blossoms are wafting through the air, and dazzling new produce is popping up left, right, and center. Green asparagus, white asparagus, purple asparagus<\/a>. Audibly crisp sugar snap peas, snow peas, English peas<\/a>. So it comes as no surprise that our most popular recipes of the month reflect this verdant swing.<\/p>\n For a speedy dinner chock-full of slender haricot verts, make this Gochujang Chicken Stir-Fry<\/a>. It\u2019s finished in a spicy-sweet sauce that would make a rubber tire taste good. If you thought raw asparagus could not be delicious, let us convince you otherwise<\/a>. Smashing the spears<\/a> with a rolling pin and dressing them in lemon and olive oil magically tenderizes the otherwise tough veg. And if you\u2019ve got a sweet tooth (of course you do), add this Strawberry Shortcake Roll<\/a> from Bon App\u00e9tit Bake Club<\/a> to your list. One reader reports, \u201cThis is the best cake I\u2019ve ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n Keep reading to explore the most popular recipes of April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Photograph by Elliott Jerome Brown Jr., Food Styling by Micah Morton, Prop Styling by Christina Allen<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n A birthday favorite in the Bon App\u00e9tit Test Kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Photo by Travis Rainey, Food Styling by Maggie Ruggiero, Prop Styling by Christine Keely<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n
