Garlic Butter Sauteed Asparagus Recipe

Step 1

Cut the bottom part of the asparagus stems, about 1-2 inches.

Step 2

Heat up a skillet on medium heat and add the melted butter. Saute the garlic until slightly browned before adding the asparagus. Toss with a spatula to combine well with the garlic.

Step 3

Add salt and ground black pepper. Add a squirt or two lemon juice, if using. Once the asparagus becomes tender and just cooked, remove from heat and serve immediately. DO NOT overcook the asparagus.
