Sauteed Asparagus With Garlic And Thyme

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 

1 tablespoon sliced garlic 

2 thyme sprigs 

10 ounces asparagus, ends trimmed 

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper 

Preparation

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and thyme sprigs. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add asparagus; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing to coat in oil, 1 minute.

Arrange asparagus in a single layer in skillet, add 1/4 cup water, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and most of water has evaporated, 2 minutes.
