simple, delicious, and perfect for spring. 

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus, (about 1 pound, tough ends snapped off)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or light olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard (make sure it’s gluten-free))
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, (such as parsley, tarragon or chives)
  • a few good pinches of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF
  2. Toss the asparagus with the avocado oil and spread out on a baking sheet. 
  3. Once the oven is hot, roast the asparagus for 10-20 minutes, depending on it’s thickness. 

Meanwhile, prepare the lemon vinaigrette:

  1. Zest the lemon and squeeze one tablespoon of juice into a small bowl. Set the zest aside.
  2. Add the olive oil, herbs, and mustard and whisk to combine.
  3. Once the asparagus is tender and a bit caramelized, sprinkle with sea salt and transfer to a serving platter.
  4. Pour over the vinaigrette and garnish with the zest.
  5. Serve hot, cold, or at room temperature.
