Dry the asparagus and set aside.


Explanation:
Me parece que "reservar secos" implica que los espárragos deberían estar secos antes de reservar. Por eso, lo traduciría "dry the asparagus and set aside."

Example sentence(s):
  • Dry the tomatoes with a paper towel and set aside.

neutral  Domini Lucas: This sounds usual to me as well. I nearly added agree, however, having been told yesterday to dry strawberries with a paper towel before setting aside, I wonder if Monica might be right.

  -> Same difference. One tries to credit the asker with a modicum of nous.

agree  Marie Wilson: Life's too short to dry fruit and veg.
