Enjoy the delicious flavor of this fresh asparagus side dish. The asparagus is tender and delicious.

One of my favorite vegetables is asparagus. Even though asparagus is usually thought of as a spring or summer vegetable I can usually find some most of the year.

I couldn't pass up the chance to enjoy some fresh asparagus one more time before the prices go up so I decided to make this very easy but delicious sautéed Asparagus recipe you see here.

This asparagus recipe was first shared on Oct 2, 2014. The photos and content was updated on June 15th, 2022.

I love sautéing vegetables in olive oil. It is so much healthier for you than butter or margarine.
