Grilled asparagus without a grill? You don't need a grill to make this easy side dish! So tasty, everyone will ask for more.
Equipment
- pan: stainless steel or cast iron with a matching lid
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Jersey Fresh Asparagus
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp oil avocado or butter
Instructions
- Turn on the stove top to medium heat, place your pan on the stove
- Prep your asparagus as described above (wash and cut into 1-2 inch pieces)
- Put your washed and cut asparagus in a mixing bowl, and pour 1 tablespoon of oil in the bowl.
- Add seasonings in the mixing bowl. Feel free to add more as needed, measure with your heart
- Mix the seasoning, oil, and asparagus so everything is evenly coated.
- Add 1 tbsp of butter or oil to the warm pan
- Once the butter melts, add the seasoned asparagus to the pan
- Cover with a lid. This keeps the heat in. It will turn a bright green color.
- Mix and flip the asparagus around so it doesn’t stick. Add more oil if it is sticking.
- Keep stirring occasionally so everything gets evenly cooked for about 10 minutes. Test this by finding the thickest pieces of asparagus and try poking it with a fork. If it is soft enough than, you are done cooking. If it is firm, let it cook a little longer.
