Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 1 cup asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Heat Olive Oil
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil serves as a base for sautéing the vegetables and infusing them with rich flavor. - Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir continuously to ensure the garlic becomes fragrant but does not burn. - Add Vegetables
Toss in the trimmed green beans and cut asparagus. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes until they reach a tender-crisp consistency. This technique will maintain their vibrant color and nutritional benefits. - Season and Flavor
Season the sautéed vegetables with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. If you prefer a bit of heat, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes. Stir everything together to ensure the flavors are well combined. - Serve Warm
Once the vegetables are perfectly cooked and seasoned, serve them warm. Enjoy the delicious medley of flavors and textures.
