I found this recipe in about.com while I was looking for new asparagus recipes that were kid friendly, whilst my daughter Rochelle cried the whole time and never tried it, Natasha and Zarah ages 3 years old and 16 months, loved this recipe and ate all in about 10 minutes, and i love it too, it was quick and easy to make and it taste more like candy then vegetables!
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh asparagus spears
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. maple syrup
- 1-1/2 tsp. sea salt or 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tsp. butter
Preparation:
- Wash asparagus spears and trim woody ends off. Discard. Dry asparagus well with paper towels. Cut asparagus into 3-inch pieces.
- Using a skillet large enough to hold all of the asparagus in a single layer, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Stir to coat the asparagus pieces completely with the oil.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until there is no water in the pan, and the asparagus is browned and tender when pierced with a fork, about 6 minutes. Turn heat down to medium if asparagus is browning too fast.
- Drizzle maple syrup evenly over asparagus. Stir to coat all the asparagus spears.
- Add sea salt and butter. Turn off heat. Stir until butter is melted and the sea salt starts to form a crust.
Serve immediately. |
