Fried Asparagus Tips with Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest
5.0(5)
Pan-Fried Asparagus Tips with Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest is one of my favorite ways to cook asparagus when I have dinner guests, and this easy but WOW asparagus recipe has only 3 ingredients! This simple recipe makes two servings, but the recipe can easily be doubled (or even tripled if you have a large enough pan.)
Turn off heat, then pour over desired amount of lemon juice. (Use all the juice if you're a lemon fan like I am.)
06Arrange asparagus tips on a plate, sprinkle with lemon zest and serve immediately.
07If you want to cook the whole pound of asparagus, trim the woody ends, then cut asparagus into two pieces, keeping the ends and the tips separate. Cook the ends about 2 minutes before you add the tips to the pan, then add the tips and cook 4-5 minutes more as above.
