Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup Bearnaise sauce store-bought or homemade
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Trim the woody ends from the asparagus about an inch and half.
  • In a baking sheet or tray, spread asparagus. Lightly coat asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. I also add garlic powder if I'm not using any sauce.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Cover asparagus with foil for the 1st 8 minutes, then remove foil for the remaining 2 minutes to lightly brown asparagus.
  • Transfer to a serving plate, pour bearnaise sauce or serve it on the side. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I used thin asparagus. For thicker variety, bake for 15 minutes covered.
  2. If you are not pressed for time,  nothing beats a Homemade Bearnaise sauce.
