Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus about 1 ½ lbs
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Prep:
- Wash the asparagus spears and snap off the bottoms of the asparagus. Keep them whole or slice them into 2-inch pieces.
- Heat up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt the butter or warm up the oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the asparagus:
- Add the asparagus spears to the hot pan, then add the salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings onto all the asparagus spears.
- Continue cooking, stirring to ensure the spears don't burn, for about 3 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked but still crispy and bright green.
- Turn off the heat and let them sit on the pan for about 2 minutes before serving. They'll continue to cook and get a bit more tender but without being directly over a heat source.
- Serve the asparagus.
