Description
Asparagus kid love. Bright green, crisp-tender blanched asparagus. 5 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz asparagus
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 4 cups water
- olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends, or bottom third of the asparagus. With a peeler, lightly peel all but the very top of the asparagus.
- In a large skillet, bring 4 cups of water to boil.
- Add 1 tablespoon salt to the water.
- Add in asparagus. Cook a few minutes until cooked to your liking (about 4 minutes). Check for doneness with a fork.
- Pour asparagus onto a large flat-ish sieve and run under cold water in the sink.
- Place asparagus on a plate. I serve it as it, but you can add a drizzle of olive oil, additional salt or other topping or seasoning you enjoy with asparagus.
