Serves 4.
Ingredients
1 lb thin asparagus spears, ends trimmed
1 tsp olive oil
A pinch each of kosher salt and fresh black pepper
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/4 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp Sriracha sauce, to taste (start with 1/4 tsp)
1 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp rice vinegar
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the baking sheet. Add the olive oil, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Toss gently with your hands to distribute the seasonings, and return the asparagus to a single layer.
Roast at 450F for 10 minutes.
While the asparagus is in the oven, make the drizzle by combining the remaining ingredients in a small measuring cup with a pouring spout. Or, if you have a squeeze bottle, make a paper funnel out of wax paper or parchment, and transfer the drizzle to the squeeze bottle.
When the asparagus is done, arrange it on a serving plate, and squirt or pour the drizzle here and there.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
