Aspargos assados com manteiga de missô

Ingredientes

• 1 1/2 pounds asparagus stalks
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt, (as needed)
• Freshly ground black pepper, (as needed)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (softened at room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon white miso paste
• 1/2 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Heat oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Trim or snap the woody ends from the asparagus (about 2” / 5cm from the bottom).

2. 2

   Arrange on a baking sheet and toss with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, stir together the butter and miso paste until fully combined, then set aside.

4. 4

   Remove the asparagus from the oven and top with the miso mixture, tossing to combine. Continue roasting until the asparagus is tender and lightly browned in spots, about an additional 4 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve topped with sesame seeds.
