For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. Simply cook the butter over medium heat until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the vegetables.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for added complexity.

    This is my go-to asparagus recipe now. So easy and flavorful.

  • Ed Balistreri

    I didn't have fresh garlic, so I used garlic powder. It still turned out great, but I'll try it with fresh garlic next time.

    I used shallots instead of white onion, and it was fantastic. Will definitely make this again.

    The asparagus was perfectly cooked, and the garlic wasn't overpowering. A great side dish!
