Roasted Asparagus and Dijon-Lemon Sauce

3 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Roasted asparagus tossed with a quick and healthy Dijon mustard and lemon sauce can be made while the rest of dinner is just waiting to be served.

So you have your main dish almost ready to go, you want asparagus but not hum-drum ” I just steamed and buttered it last time” or “I made asparagus wrapped in phyllo dough awhile back and don’t have time for that one” (plus, do you really always have phyllo dough in the freezer?). Well, hum-drum no more because this roasted asparagus with Dijon lemon sauce is quick, yummy and impressive. Plus you probably have everything you need in the fridge or pantry right now.

This dish makes a fancy side in no time! The combination of lemon and Dijon brightens up the flavor and the garlic that gets roasted with the asparagus adds a nutty, earthy finish.
