Roasted Asparagus with Healthy Hollandaise Sauce
(Serves 3-4)
1 lb fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
6 ounces fat free plain greek yogurt (I used Chobani)
3 egg yolks
juice from half of a lemon
1/4 tsp ground mustard (or 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss prepared asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Lay asparagus on cookie sheet. Roast until tender (about 6 minutes for thin stalks and 10 minutes for thicker stalks).
Meanwhile, add about 2 cups of water to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, egg yolks, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Once water is simmering, lower heat to medium-low, place bowl of yogurt mixture over simmering water making sure the bowl does not touch the water, and whisk constantly for about 8 minutes or until mixture thickens.
Place roasted asparagus on a serving plate and spoon Hollandaise sauce over top. Garnish with lemon slices.
