Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup Marcona almonds chopped
- juice of half of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, coating spears evenly, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast for 8-10 minutes—depending on thickness of spears—or until tender.
-
While the asparagus cooks, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and stir frequently until the butter begins to turn light brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add lemon juice and tarragon.
-
Toss the asparagus with butter and almonds and serve.
