Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1
Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add asparagus spears; cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 2
Add water and cover to steam asparagus and keep it from drying out. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s Note:

When trimming your asparagus, you want to snap each spear where it wants to break on the lower 1/3 of the stalk. This will give you the best parts of the asparagus and will avoid the tough parts.
