ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus spears
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- Seasoned salt ( such as Lowrys, Nature’s Seasons or Janey’s), to taste
Method
Step 1
Wash asparagus under cold running water and pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2
Remove tough ends. Asparagus spears have a tough part that needs to be removed before cooking.
Step 3
Cut asparagus spears on the diagonal into 1 to 1 1/2-inch long pieces.
Step 4
Place asparagus pieces in a large skillet. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, then oil. Shake the skillet to coat the asparagus pieces with the oil.
Step 5
Cover and place over high heat. Once it begins to sizzle, shake the pan and cook for 1 minute
Step 6
Turn the heat down to low (it should still be sizzling). Keep it covered and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender.
Step 7
Spoon hot asparagus into a serving bowl, or onto a serving platter or individual dinner plates. Serve immediately.
