Lemon Sesame Asparagus: A Crispy Twist!

Step 1

Melt the butter in a skillet on medium-low heat until it sizzles gently. Toast the sesame seeds by stirring them until they turn a light golden color, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Next, mix in the lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper until everything is well blended.

Step 2

Prepare a saucepan with a steamer insert and add water just below the steamer. Bring the water to a boil and carefully place the asparagus inside. Cover the pot and let the asparagus steam until it becomes tender, usually around 2 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Once the asparagus is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a serving plate. To enhance the flavor, drizzle the sesame-butter sauce generously over the top. Enjoy this delightful dish that is bursting with fresh and savory flavors!
