Ingredients
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 3+ large garlic cloves (use as many as you like!)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • parmesan cheese to taste
Instructions
  1. Peel the garlic gloves (don’t smash them, you want to keep them whole!) and slice them as thinly as possible. Heat the oil in a sauté pan over medium heat until it shimmers, then add the garlic slices. Let them fry until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on them closely as they will burn quickly, and burt garlic takes on a bitter taste.
  2. Remove garlic chips and let drain on paper towels. Add trimmed asparagus to same pan with the oil, so that the asparagus cooks in the oil that has absorbed all the garlic flavor. Let asparagus cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on the outside but still retains a slight bite, 5-10 minutes.
  3. Remove asparagus and while still warm top with parmesan cheese and toasted garlic chips.
