How to Make Asparagus Amandine

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden, shaking the pan halfway through.
  2. While almonds toast, snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears by bending them until they break naturally. Discard the tough ends.
  3. If using thick asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to gently remove any tough outer scales.
  4. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add asparagus to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender-crisp.
  6. Remove asparagus from skillet and transfer to a serving platter.
  7. Sprinkle toasted almonds and salt generously over the asparagus.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
