Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Asparagus
Wash the asparagus under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks by bending each stalk gently until it breaks naturally.
Steaming
- 2
Steam the Asparagus
Fill a pot with about 1 inch of water and place a steamer basket inside, making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, carefully place the asparagus in the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the asparagus for about 4-6 minutes, until tender but still bright green.
Serving
- 3
Season and Serve
Once the asparagus is done steaming, carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a serving dish. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
