Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus turns bright green and begins to soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and soy sauce. Pour the mixture over the asparagus in the skillet.
Toss the asparagus to evenly coat it in the glaze, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the asparagus is tender but still crisp.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
Transfer the glazed asparagus to a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy!
