I love making pan-roasted asparagus because it’s one of the quickest ways to bring out its natural sweetness while adding a delicious golden-brown char.

Total time: PT20M

Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
1. Prepare the Asparagus – Rinse the asparagus under cool water, then dry well with a towel to remove excess moisture on the surface. Using a knife, trim off the tough, fibrous ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
2. Cover and Cook – Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the  butter and olive oil. Once the butter is melted, add the asparagus and use tongs to coat. Cover with a lid and cook until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender, 3 minutes.
3. Pan-Sear – Carefully remove the lid, opening it away from you. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, then cook uncovered, turning with tongs as needed, for 3 to 5 minutes until lightly browned on the outside.
