Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the asparagus in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
- While asparagus roasts, prepare the hollandaise sauce: in a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice until thickened.
- Set the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler) and slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy.
- Season the hollandaise with salt, a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired, and keep warm.
- Serve the roasted asparagus drizzled generously with hollandaise sauce.
Notes
For a lighter option, substitute butter with olive oil in the hollandaise sauce, or add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like dill or chives on top.
