Time 15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch fresh asparagus
¼ cup water
1 lemon
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Take each spear of asparagus and break it towards the end, wherever it naturally snaps, to remove woody ends. Place asparagus in a microwave-safe glass container with a lid. Pour in water.
  • Roll lemon on a flat work surface to release the juices; slice in half. Squeeze each half over the asparagus. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic powder.
  • Cover container and place in the microwave. Cook on high until tender-crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This is a great basic recipe that you can easily dress up or down. I like to add a little garlic and Parmesan cheese to mine.

I've tried other steamed asparagus recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The lemon and butter add so much flavor.
