Ingredients

For the Asparagus:

3
bunches asparagus (about 3 pounds), ends trimmed
1/4 cup
olive oil
1/2 tsp.
Cajun seasoning

Directions

1. Step 1For the asparagus: Preheat the oven to 450˚. Divide the asparagus between 2 baking sheets, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the Cajun seasoning and toss to coat. Roast until the asparagus is tender and starting to color, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
2. Step 2For the hollandaise: Melt the butter in a small saucepan until sizzling. Pull out the blender and add the egg yolks to it. Add the lemon juice to the blender. Then, with the blender on, slowly drizzle in the hot butter. The sauce will start to thicken right away.
3. Step 3Add the Cajun seasoning, pepper and hot sauce to the blender and mix it again until it’s all combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a few teaspoons warm water until it’s thin enough to pour.
4. Step 4Drizzle the sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with more Cajun seasoning.
