Garlic Butter Asparagus
Servings: 3+
Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2–3 tablespoons Tropical Traditions Organic Expeller-Pressed Coconut Oil
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 4 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- dash salt and pepper
- fresh lemon juice, optional
Directions:
Wash asparagus, break off ends, and cut into about 2–3-inch pieces.
Melt coconut oil, 3 tablespoons butter, and 2 teaspoons garlic in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add asparagus spears. Add remaining butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Cover the skillet with a lid for about 10 minutes (after 5 minutes, mix to make sure that the butter and garlic are covering all pieces). Remove the lid, mix again, and let simmer for about 2–5 more minutes. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired.
