Ingredients
Optional for serving:
Instructions
- Step 1
Cut the white ends off of the asparagus (see video for reference) and place into a large skillet.
- Step 2
Pour in the water and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover the skillet and cook until the asparagus is tender to your liking. Thicker asparagus will take 5-7 minutes and thinner asparagus may only need 2 minutes. If all of the water evaporates, you can add in another 1 to 2 tablespoons.
- Step 3
Remove from the heat and drain out any remaining water. Optional step: place the asparagus in the dry skillet over medium heat and add in the butter as well as a sprinkle of garlic powder. Cook until the butter is fully melted and toss to coat all of the asparagus.
- Step 4
Garnish with shredded cheese and lemon juice as desired!
