Sauteed Asparagus

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 asparagus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Prepare 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.
2. 2Saute – 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.
