Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Pat the asparagus dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and spread the asparagus in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly golden around the edges.
While the asparagus is roasting, prepare the garlicky tarragon dressing. Finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh tarragon.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, chopped tarragon, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
Once the asparagus is done roasting, transfer it to a serving platter and drizzle the garlicky tarragon dressing over the top.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra tarragon leaves if desired.
