Dijon Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

Serves 6

The Dressing:

1 ¼ Tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 ¼ teaspoons shallot, minced
1 ½ teaspoons dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ Tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon black pepper

The Asparagus:

1 ½ pounds asparagus
1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
⅜ teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, shallots, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper until smooth. While whisking slowly pour in the olive oil until the dressing is combined.
2. For the asparagus: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim the tough ends from the asparagus and place it on a baking sheet. Toss the asparagus in olive oil, garlic and pepper until coated. Lay the asparagus on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the asparagus until it is just tender, 12 -18 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus. Serve the asparagus warm or room temperature, with the Dijon dressing drizzled over top.
