3 Minute Skillet Asparagus
The fresh pressed garlic is key to this dish so please don’t skip it. When you’re getting those crispy buttery garlic bits in every bite, you’ll thank me. As is the Italian Blend seasoning. If you don’t have it prepackaged, then just sprinkle in some dried basil, dried parsley, dried oregano and dried thyme – those should cover it.

o many nights I think about what entree to make for dinner and forget about the side dish. Which in fact is super important to get those veggies in your diet. Asparagus is a nutrient dense whole food packed with lots of vitamins and minerals. It’s also high in fiber and low in calories and low in carbs.
Ingredients
2 tbs butter (or olive oil)
1 lb asparagus (trimmed)
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
salt + pepper to taste
2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese (or shredded mozzarella)
Method
Cut your asparagus into 2 inch pieces.
Melt your butter in a large skillet over medium high. Add the asparagus and cook for a few minutes until just fork tender, stirring and tossing occasionally.
Add the garlic and seasonings and toss around for 30 seconds.
Lastly sprinkle on the cheese and cover for a few seconds until melted.
Notes
Optional: Top with chili pepper flakes.
Do not use the thin baby asparagus for this recipe.
