This asparagus recipe is “knock your socks off” delicious! Seriously, even people who think they don't like asparagus, like this roasted asparagus with Dijon dressing. The Dijon dressing creates a flavorful balance that enhances the flavor of the asparagus without masking or overpowering it. Roasting asparagus in the oven produces a tender, yet crisp bite to the asparagus
This recipes is an easy way to cook several pounds of asparagus at once, which is nice for dinner parties. It is also handy to have a recipe that calls for several pounds of asparagus if you went a little crazy when you discovered a great sale on asparagus.
