Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
¼ cup thinly-sliced almonds
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant - about 30 seconds.
  • Add asparagus, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until almost crisp-tender.
  • Add almonds and continue to cook until asparagus is crisp-tender and almonds are toasted, about 1-2 more minutes.
  • Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary. Garnish with lemon zest and serve immediately.
