Yield: 4 servings
Calories: 54kcal
I love making sautéed asparagus because it’s a quick, flavorful side dish that lets the vegetable’s natural sweetness and crisp-tender texture shine.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (454 g) asparagus
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon (1 g) kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Asparagus – Rinse the asparagus under cool water, then pat dry with a towel to remove excess surface moisture. Using a knife, trim off the tough, fibrous ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom. Cut the trimmed spears into 2-inch long pieces.
- Saute – Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Add the asparagus pieces and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Storing: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
- Reheating: Microwave in 15 to 30-second increments until hot.
