Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the tough stem ends from the asparagus. Slice the spears into 1 1/2-inch pieces. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Sauté the Mushrooms: Heat the refined coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 8-10 minutes.

03

Step

Incorporate the Asparagus: Add the prepared asparagus pieces to the skillet with the mushrooms. Continue to cook until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp, approximately 3-5 minutes.

04

Step

Add Garlic and Season: Stir in the minced garlic during the last minute of cooking, allowing its fragrance to bloom. Season generously with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Serve Immediately: Transfer the sautéed asparagus and mushrooms to a serving dish and enjoy immediately.

For a richer flavor, try using butter or olive oil instead of coconut oil.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end for a bright, zesty finish.
A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or grated Parmesan cheese would make a delicious garnish.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the mushrooms to achieve a good sear.
Don't overcrowd the pan, as this will steam the vegetables instead of sautéing them. Cook in batches if necessary.
