Sautéed Garlic Asparagus With Bacon Recipes

SAUTEED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Once it's hot, add the oil and asparagus. Using tongs, toss the asparagus so that it cooks evenly. (Make sure the asparagus is completely dry before adding it to the pan to avoid any oil splatters)
• After 3 minutes, add the garlic to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes more then remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the parmesan to the pan and toss the asparagus so it's coated in the cheese. Serve right away.

BACON ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine minced garlic in a small bowl with 3 Tbsp olive oil and set aside while preparing your asparagus and gathering the rest of your ingredients.
• Break off the fibrous ends of your asparagus by holding the base end and snapping it wherever it snaps. Discard the ends. I like this method most because it ensures that you won't have any fibrous ends. You can also use a knife to cut the ends off about 1" up from the base.
• Transfer asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet then drizzle and toss it with the garlic oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and bake at 400°F for 13-18 mins (depending on the thickness of asparagus) or until lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork.
• While baking, saute 6 strips of bacon, drain on paper towels then coarsely chop. Serve asparagus warm and sprinkle the top with bacon.
