Description

This impressive side dish is easy and quick to prepare. For a weeknight, or for guests, it comes together really quickly.

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons raw sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced almonds; stir gently and shake the skillet until almonds are lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Set almonds aside.
  2. 2. Add butter and olive oil to the same skillet. Swirl skillet until butter is melted and combined with the oil, about 1 minute. Add asparagus spears and season with salt and pepper. Move asparagus around the skillet, gently stirring and turning until tender-crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
  3. 3. Add bread crumbs to the remaining butter and oil in the warm skillet. Stir until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. 4. Squeeze lemon juice over the cooked asparagus, place browned bread crumbs on top, and garnish with toasted almonds.
