Roasted Asparagus & Creamy Cilantro-Lime Sauce

Ingredients

(For Roasted Asparagus)
1 pound of asparagus (usually, a bunch is about a pound)
1 1/2 TBS olive oil
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
dash of salt
(For Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce)
1 bunch fresh cilantro (about 1 to 1 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup sour cream
3 cloves garlic
1 TBS lime juice
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Preparation

1
Preheat the oven to 425ºF (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2
Wash the asparagus and snap or chop off the bottoms of the stalks.
3
In a large bowl, toss in the olive oil and mix well.
4
Spread the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and a tiny bit of salt on the asparagus.
5
Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
6
While the asparagus spears are cooking, prepare the creamy cilantro-lime sauce.
7
Rinse the cilantro and chop off the bottoms. It is fine to leave some of the stem in tact.
8
Add all ingredients into a food processor or blender and mix until well incorporated.
9
Remove the asparagus from the oven once they look tender. When they are slightly cool, drizzle on the creamy cilantro-lime sauce.
