Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus thoroughly under cold water. Snap off the tough ends of each asparagus spear by bending them gently until they break.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Garlic

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 5

    Cook the Asparagus

    Add the asparagus to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and bright green.

  4. 6

    Add Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle lemon juice over the asparagus. Toss to combine.
