Pan-Fried Asparagus Recipe

I have not eaten asparagus in years, but it was on sale today, so I bought a package and tried this recipe for dinner tonight. After reading the reviews, I made some of the changes that were suggested and it turned out so good that I wish I had made double the amount! First I melted just 2 Tbsp of butter, then added sliced mushrooms and cooked them for a few minutes before adding the asparagus so it wouldn't get overcooked because I like it crisp. Then I drizzled just a little olive oil over the vegetables. I substituted garlic salt for the coarse salt and garlic cloves because so many people said this was too salty and/or the garlic burned. I also used lemon pepper instead of regular black pepper and sprinkled a little lemon juice over the vegetables while they were cooking. After I took them out of the pan, I sprinkled fresh parmesan cheese over them. This was the best asparagus I have ever eaten!

Making this recipe was the first time ever tried asparagus. Now, I can't eat it any way but like this. I serve this with dinner at least twice a week. I don't use fresh garlic, I used jarred cushed or minced garlic (whatever is in the fridge). I use two teaspons (hey - I like garlic). If you do this, add the garlic in at the end of the cooking time as the garlic would burn if you added it in at the beginning as the recipe calls for you to do with fresh garlic cloves.

The only reason this gets 4 stars is because my boyfriend says this was just "ok". I absolutely loved it. (He doesn't care for asparagus.) A tip you can use with asparagus: don't just cut off the end. "Bend" the asparagus until it breaks naturally. Asparagus will break where it is most tender. That way you don't have to mess with the hard and chewy ends. You can also peel the asparagus but I think that's too much work.

This is the best recipe I have found for Asparagus. I also cooked chicken strips in it UMMMMM Good Thanks

We just broil our asparagus with a little olive oil and salt and pepper for 5 minutes and have been doing so for years with great success. It's an Easter favorite.

Bake trimmed (broken off the ends) asparagus in heavy pan (cast iron) after sprinklin with olive oil or lemon infused olive oil at 375 degrees. Bake for 18 minutes in pre-heated oven. Stalks will still be crunchy, but done. Size doesn't really matter. Heavenly with lemon infused olive oil. Do same recipe on grill. Break stalks -tough part will be gone, what is left is the best. Easy!

This is our favorite way to fix asparagus, and so easy! I throw 1/2 stick of butter in the pan, a drizzle of olive oil and my garlic. After the butter melts, add the asparagus and let it saute till done, stirring often. I love that the asparagus stays a little crisp instead of overcooking to the mushy stage. I use the McCormick sea salt grinder and don't measure the salt, just season to taste. Also, I cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces, it's much easier to cook and stir that way. I use lots more asparagus than this recipe calls for.

A little olive oil helps the butter not burn during cooking. I used a lower medium heat and they were really good! Firm and green and cooked thru.

Really good with the changes suggested by other reviewers. I used about a tablespoon of butter with the 2 TB's of oil and that was more than enough. Despite the warnings, I put the garlic in at the beginning and it did burn brown. Next time, I'll put it in much later or just use garlic powder.

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on it within the last two minutes and it will brown and crumble and add more flavor and a really good crunch with the taste

I absolutely loved this recipe! I had a 2.5 lb bag of asparagus from Costco, and after snapping off the ends, I ended up with 2 lbs to cook. I divided it into two batches, cooking each on medium heat for about 10 minutes. The result was perfect—the asparagus was tender, and the garlic stayed soft, mixing beautifully with the asparagus. Just the right amount of salt and pepper made it a hit with everyone! **Tip**: Based on other reviews, I recommend cooking on medium heat to avoid burning the garlic. Adding the garlic at the start, as the recipe suggests, really infuses its flavor into the asparagus, and it's AMAZING!!!!

This was delicious and super easy to make! Goes super good with steak

Followed the recommendation in the video using only 2 Tbs of butter and 1 Tbs of olive oil, 1 tsp course salt ,1/4 tsp black pepper and minced garlic. It was perfect!

The perfect balance of flavours

Best asparagus recipe! I added some red pepper for a touch of heat, and a sprinkle of Cotillo cheese at the end. Amazing!

I cooked for 8 minutes and it was great!

Such a comforting dish on a cold evening.

Everyone said this was the best asparagus they’ve ever had!

Used no garlic and half the butter, oil and salt. Turned out amazing.

I’ll definitely make this again.
