Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 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).
  • Combine almonds, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in food processor and process until roughly chopped. Spoon over asparagus before serving.
