Lemony Fried Asparagus
Recipe By:
Ingredients
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, enough to drizzle in non-stick skillet and cover bottom
  • ½ to 1 lb. pencil-thin asparagus
  • ¼ c. minced garlic
  • Juice of 2 large lemons
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Spray non-stick skillet with PAM. Over low-medium heat, drizzle olive oil to cover the bottom.
  2. Clean asparagus and season with salt.
  3. Place in skillet and place a lid on it and about every 2 minutes, lift lid and move asparagus around. Total cooking time will depend on thickness of asparagus and how well you like it cooked. It should not be more than 8-10 minutes.
  4. After about 4 minutes of cooking, add the garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon juice.
  5. Keep moving asparagus to get all sides crispy.
  6. Serve immediately. Add more seasoning and lemon juice as desired.
Notes
*****The most important thing to remember is not to let garlic brown. Once garlic browns it becomes bitter. So really try to add near the end of cooking the veggie.
