Asparagus is one my favorite vegetables to cook in parchment. It’s just the right size and it cooks perfectly. I made this for dinner the other night. It’s got the right balance of creaminess and lemon and the garlic gives it some punch.
1 bunch asparagus
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon dill
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Place the asparagus on the parchment. Mix the other ingredients in a small bowl and spread over the asparagus. Fold the parchment (see the Technique page on this blog) and bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes, until the asparagus reaches your level of doneness. This is great with chicken or fish.

I have never paired asparagus with garlic, but am ready to try. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
My inspiration for this was garlic aioli – made easy.
Ooh…this looks like something that would work with a few different kinds of veggies. Very nice.
Oh, this looks wonderful. I wish my husband liked asparagus more!
I adore asparagus. This looks fabulous and definitely worth a try!
I liked your asparagus with creamy mustard recipe, so I’m looking forward to trying this one.
Count me as an asparagus fan too–this is almost like a hollandaise sauce in parchment, what a great idea!
Yes, the sauce would go with lots of things
I love mayo with lemon on asparagus, so adding garlic will be fun. And tasty.
