Sautéed Asparagus and Mushrooms is a quick, healthy side dish featuring tender-crisp asparagus and earthy mushrooms sautéed with garlic. Lightly seasoned and ready in 15 minutes, it pairs well with almost any meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 8 oz asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite variety)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce or balsamic vinegar (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add mushrooms and sauté for 4–5 minutes until they begin to brown and release their juices.
  3. Add asparagus and cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. For extra flavor, drizzle in soy sauce or balsamic vinegar before serving.

Notes

  • Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top before serving for richness.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  • Include red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Toss in spinach at the end for extra greens.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
