Garlicky Asparagus.

I love asparagus. I usually just get frozen steamer bags of them, but I decided I was in the mood for some fresh asparagus. I found this recipe for Garlicky Asparagus in Cooking Light, and not only were they super easy to make, but they were seriously delicious.

What you need...

• 1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed


• 1 tablespoon olive oil


• 2 garlic cloves, minced


• 1/8 teaspoon salt


• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How to Make them...

Steam asparagus 4 minutes or until crisp-tender...seems simple enough, right? Well, it would be if you had a vegetable-steamer-pot-thingy, but not all of us have those (me included). So how are you going to steam your asparagus? Just get creative! I assembled my steamer using a strainer and alumni foil - worked like a charm!

While asparagus steams, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 2 minutes or until fragrant, stirring frequently. Add asparagus, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.

I cooked the asparagus in the pan until they got a little bit of color, then called it a day.

My garlic ended up getting crispy and it added nice texture to the asparagus. One serving (about 3 ounces) is only 57 calories!

These Garlicky Asparagus are the perfect complement to any meat dish - give them a try! K, byeeee. (Hehe, this rhymes.)
