Roasted Asparagus with Mayo Cheese Sauce
Posted by in Food
I was turned off at the idea of putting mayo on asparagus, but honestly, this quick little recipe is your savior when you need to dress up asparagus with almost no work. I found this little gem in Family Table by Michael Romano, a book that offers recipes for the dishes top restaurants make to feed their own staffs before service begins. So far I am loving this book.
Roasted Asparagus with Mayo Cheese Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- olive oil
- lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- ¼ cup light mayo
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Place the trimmed asparagus in the pan, all facing the same way. Sprinkle about 2-3 tablespoons olive oil and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice over it and season with salt and pepper. Toss. Bake for 15 minutes or tender.
- Remove from the oven and spread the mayo on top then sprinkle the cheese. Broil until it begins to brown.

When I first saw this post in the reader I thought you might have lost the plot, but I can actually see it working and will have to go and try it now. Thanks for the tip!
I totally scowled at it but my mom makes an amazing fish dish that uses mayo so I knew it had potential. If you think about it, it’s just egg and oil.
I never would have thought of adding mayo. Will try this. Thanks. A neighbor just gave me a bunch of asparagus from her garden.
I love Asparagus. One of my favorite veggies. I’ll try this. Unfortunately, my most favorite way to have it is with hollandaise sauce, but keep that to a min. Like maybe once every couple of years.
I love it too! Hollandaise is good on so many things!
The asparagus has looked so good lately. I’m going to have to pick up more so I can try this recipe.
This looks so yummy. We’ve recently went to a vegan diet, so if I figure out how to do this vegan style, it’s going to be awesome!
Normally I’m not a fan of mayonnaise but using olive oil and Parmesan makes it very appealing. I’ll have to try this.
