Roasting asparagus brings out their natural sweetness. The easy, pepper-based sauce makes a tasty and beautiful presentation.

Ingredients

Asparagus

2 pound(s), medium thickness, tough stems snapped off

Olive oil

1 tsp(s)

Table salt

¼ tsp(s), or to taste

Black pepper

1 tsp(s), freshly ground, or to taste

Roasted red peppers (packed in water)

7½ oz

Reduced calorie mayonnaise

¼ cup(s)

Garlic

1 clove(s), small

Smoked paprika

½ tsp(s), smoked

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Put asparagus on a nonstick baking sheet; drizzle with oil and toss. Spread into a single layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking pan once or twice during cooking, until asparagus is fork-tender, about 10 to 15 minutes (varies greatly depending on thickness of spears).
  3. Meanwhile, drain peppers and pat dry with paper towels. Place peppers, mayonnaise, garlic and paprika in a food processor or blender; process until smooth and set aside.
  4. Arrange asparagus on a serving plate; drizzle with pepper mixture (or pour into a small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce).
  5. Serving size: 1/6 of asparagus plus 2 Tbsp sauce

Notes

The roasted pepper sauce also makes a great vegetable dip or a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
