Not everyone likes Asparagus, but I sure do! It’s tasty and it’s also super healthy for you! If you are looking for a yummy and easy asparagus recipe to try, I’ve got what you are looking for – Garlic Lemon Butter Asparagus!
By the way, asparagus is super healthy for you! Just one cup of cooked asparagus has 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium. That’s awesome because potassium is good for blood pressure. Asparagus is a nutrient-packed vegetable. It is a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K!
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt, as desired
Directions
Trim off the hard stem areas of the asparagus. This is usually the bottom 1-2 inches of the asparagus. I line them up on a cutting board and cut off tough bottom parts.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium high heat.
After the butter is heated, add asparagus and saute for about 3 minutes or until almost tender.
Add garlic and saute for a minute.
Add lemon juice and salt.
Stir to mix well, and then remove from heat.
