Tips:

  • Brown the butter: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty. Be careful not to burn the butter.
  • Add the asparagus: Once the butter is browned, add the asparagus spears to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the asparagus: Once the asparagus is cooked, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
