We developed a perfect asparagus recipe, including a simple sauce, that can be completed in just 10 minutes. We broiled the asparagus to concentrate the flavor and lightly caramelize its peel. While the asparagus cooked, we whisked together a simple, flavorful vinaigrette to drizzle over the hot asparagus before serving.
Ingredients
2 pounds thin asparagus spears (2 bunches), tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 medium scallions, white and green parts, minced
1 inch piece fresh ginger, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 small garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup lime juice from 2 large limes
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Cook along with these step-by-step instructions
- Adjust oven rack to uppermost position (about 4 inches from the heating element) and heat broiler.
- Toss asparagus with oil and salt and pepper, then lay spears in single layer on heavy rimmed baking sheet. Broil about 4 inches from heating element, shaking pan halfway through to turn spears, until asparagus is tender and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Whisk scallions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and honey together in a small bowl. Drizzle over asparagus and serve immediately.
