A delightful asparagus side dish enhanced with garlic and butter, perfect for any meal.
Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into 2-inch pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts, ensuring the asparagus cooks evenly.
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.
Avoid overheating the butter to prevent it from burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter and garlic.
Ensure all pieces are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Cook the asparagus, stirring occasionally, until tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Taste a piece to check for doneness and adjust the cooking time as needed.
Serve the asparagus warm as a side dish, garnished with optional lemon zest or Parmesan cheese.
Presentation matters; arrange the asparagus neatly on the serving dish.
