FAQ
How should I store leftover asparagus?
Store leftover asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat it in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Asparagus is best served fresh, but you can trim the ends and melt the butter in advance. The actual cooking should be done just before serving to maintain the texture.
What can I use if I don’t have SPG seasoning?
You can easily substitute with a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
What other seasonings can I use?
Feel free to experiment with lemon zest, parmesan cheese, or a dash of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
