Roasted Asparagus with Savory Butter Sauce
Description
Use this sauce to bring umami flavor to any roasted vegetable.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds medium-thick asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee or Megachef Premium)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Place asparagus on a large rimmed baking sheet; drizzle evenly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast in preheated oven until asparagus are crisp-tender, about 12 minutes.
- While asparagus roasts, melt butter in a small skillet over medium. Cook, whisking often (this cuts down on sputtering), until deeply fragrant with a toasty aroma and darkened to the color of light brown sugar, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour butter into a small bowl, and let cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in oyster sauce.
- Arrange asparagus on a platter, and drizzle evenly with oyster-butter sauce. Serve hot.
