Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (olive oil or avocado oil would work)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bunches asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into smaller pieces
- 8 oz. button or cremini mushrooms
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Saute garlic: Heat the oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Saute vegetables: Add the asparagus pieces and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook while stirring often until the mushrooms release their juices and the asparagus turns tender, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Season the vegetables with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh asparagus with bright green color and firm stalks.
- Button mushrooms or cremini mushrooms both work well; cremini has a slightly deeper flavor.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with olive oil or avocado oil for a healthier choice.
- Cook times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the asparagus stalks.
- This recipe is great as a side dish or as part of a vegetarian meal.
