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.
