Cooking Steps
Drain corn, then pat dry with paper towels. Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus; slice crosswise on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. (TIP: If asparagus is thicker than a pencil, halve lengthwise first.)
Heat a drizzle of oil and 1 tsp garlic herb butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add asparagus with a pinch of salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and almost tender, 2-3 minutes.
Increase heat to high under pan; add corn with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until nicely warmed through and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. (TIP: Cover pan with a lid if corn starts to pop!)
Remove from heat. Stir in 3 TBSP garlic herb butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
RECIPE SUGGESTION (Additional ingredients not included.): Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for a cheesy, even more decadent side!

Reviews from our home cooks
We ended up grilling the asparagus whole and then cutting it. It would have been nice to do the same with the corn rather than warm up canned corn.
Nice to have a different veggie available. The asparagus was about 1/2 slimy and wilted so I only made 1/2 of it. It was good. I cooked it on the griddle on my grill with the nando chicken sliders.
Not terrible. Corn and asparagus don't go together. Not the company's fault. Looked good in the photo and like both foods.
Not all I hoped, but tasty. I feel it needs a little something more to tie it together.
I wasn't expecting that much prep work. Otherwise it was great.
