Sautéed asparagus is a simple yet flavorful dish made by cooking fresh asparagus spears in olive oil or butter, often seasoned with garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. A staple in Mediterranean cuisine, this dish highlights the vibrant flavors and nutritional benefits of asparagus, which is low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with folate and fiber. It’s also a good source of antioxidants and supports healthy digestive and immune systems. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic offers anti-inflammatory properties. Though generally healthy, using excessive butter or salt may increase calorie and sodium content, so moderation is key. Quick to prepare and versatile, sautéed asparagus can be served as a side dish or incorporated into pasta, grain bowls, or salads for a nutrient-packed addition to any meal.
