Step 1
Wash asparagus under cold running water and pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2
Remove tough ends. Cut asparagus spears on the diagonal into 1 to 1 1/2-inch long pieces.
Step 3
Place asparagus pieces in a large skillet. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, then oil. Shake the skillet to coat the asparagus pieces with the oil.

Cover and place over high heat. Once it begins to sizzle, shake the pan and cook for 1 minute.

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.
