Ingredients

Instructions

  • In an iron cast skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the olive oil and garlic. Sauté the garlic until slightly browned.
  • Add asparagus, salt, pepper, dried oregano, and Italian seasoning in the skillet. Using a spatula, toss to combine all the ingredients well.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes. It will depend on how tender you want your asparagus to be.
  • Add the parmesan cheese to the top of the asparagus and cover the skillet with its lid.
  • Cook for 1 minute. Before serving, toss lemon juice.

Notes

  • You can snap off the tough ends as they'll naturally break at the woody part. Alternatively, you can snap one off and use it as a guide on where to cut the rest of the asparagus. 
  • If you do not have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a large non-stick skillet.
  • The larger the skillet the better. You do not want to try be too much overlap as it'll make the asparagus steam.
  • To store: Store the asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
  • To reheat: You can reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave. 
  • To freeze: Place the cooked asparagus in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 2-3 months.
