How to Make Beer Battered Asparagus With A Lemon Herbed Dipping Sauce

**Lemon Herb Dipping Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (or your favorite herbs!), 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
**Beer Battered Asparagus:** Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup beer until a smooth batter forms. Adjust beer as needed for desired consistency.
Wash and dry 1 pound asparagus. Snap off tough ends.
Dip each asparagus spear into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess batter.
Carefully add asparagus to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the asparagus from the oil and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish frying the remaining asparagus.
Serve immediately with the chilled lemon herb dipping sauce.
