Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter, or more as needed

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • teaspoon garlic powder

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook asparagus in melted butter, stirring a few times, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

  2. Drizzle honey over the asparagus and stir to coat; season with garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

Cook's Notes:

If you find the asparagus sticks to the pan, you can add up to 1 tablespoon butter more while cooking.

For a healthier alternative, use 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil instead of butter.
