Sautéed Garlic Asparagus
Hi Everyone, It’s Spring and that means it’s Asparagus season!
One of my favorite ways to make it is sautéed on the stove top with fresh chopped garlic.
Preparing asparagus in this way is versatile: you can enjoy it over a salad, divide it up as a side for the week’s meal prep or have it as a side with dinner.
I love using regular olive oil with this recipe but if you prefer a different kind of oil or butter (a non-vegan version), feel free to use that instead.
Asparagus Season
I always associate asparagus with Spring.
Asparagus peaks in availability in April, however, you can commonly find it in the grocery store from February to June.
