Sauteed Asparagus
We needed a green vegetable side dish to go with some chicken I prepared earlier this week, and The Picky Apple requested asparagus. I almost always roast asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, but this week I decided to switch things up. This week, I sauteed my asparagus. This was SO easy, and I can’t believe I haven’t done this before. It was quick and I loved it even more than roasted asparagus!
Sauteed Asparagus
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of asparagus, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- salt and pepper
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and asparagus. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sautee, stirring frequently, until asparagus is bright green and tender. (Note: I cooked mine a little too long, as you can tell from the photo!)
What’s your favorite way to prepare asparagus? What’s your favorite green vegetable?
Asparagus is my favorite vegetable! I always use the same spices no matter if I’m grilling it or cooking it in the kitchen. I always use Lemon Pepper to season. Sometimes I add garlic powder and sometimes I cook it (inside only) with kalmata olives…yum!
Made this last night. It was yummy, Thanks!
