Ingredients
Roasted Asparagus
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- pepper and salt to taste
Cream Sauce
- 1 Tbsp oil or vegan butter
- 2 cloves garlic crushed or minced
- 1 Tbsp flour
- 1/2-1 cup non-dairy milk plain, unsweetened
- 1 pinch chili flakes
- pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
How to Roast Asparagus
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare asparagus by cutting or snapping off the tough ends.
- Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast in oven for 15-18 minutes, until fork tender.
Vegan Cream Sauce
- In a small pot, heat oil on stove on medium heat.
- Add garlic and sauté for a minute.
- Whisk in flour. Cook for a minute, continuing to whisk - this will get rid of the distinct flour taste.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup milk, chili flakes, pepper, and salt. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat.
- If the cream sauce is too thick, add a little more milk.
- Drizzle cream sauce over roasted asparagus and serve warm.
