Ingredients

Servings
  • cooking spray or olive oil mister
  • 2 asparagus ends trimmed, bunches
  • ½ c. almonds I like using raw, but roasted work too
  • 1 garlic peeled, clove
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Spray 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. Place asparagus on sheets in a single layer and spray tops with additional cooking spray. Roast for 10-15 minutes or until tender (thinner asparagus will take closer to 10 minutes).
  3. Combine almonds, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in food processor and process until roughly chopped. Spoon over asparagus before serving.
