How to Make Oven Baked Asparagus With Mustard Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Wash 1 pound of asparagus and trim the tough ends.
  3. Tear off a large sheet of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil (approximately 18 inches long). Place the asparagus in the center of the foil.
  4. Dot the asparagus with 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Bring up the foil sides, folding over to completely enclose the asparagus, creating a sealed packet. Leave a little space at the top for steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender.
  7. Carefully open the foil packet. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. While the asparagus bakes, prepare the sauce: In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon sugar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  9. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, or until warmed through. Stir well.
  10. Drizzle the mustard sauce over the cooked asparagus and serve immediately.
