Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 pounds medium thick asparagus
1 T olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
LEMON DRESSING:
3 T fresh lemon juice
½ tsp finely grated lemon zest
3 T creme fraiche, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
½ tsp hot sauce, such as Sriracha
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400º.
Trim the bottom 2 inches from the asparagus and, if desired, peel the lower 2 inches of the stalks.
Place the asparagus in a shallow baking pan or rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss gently to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss again and spread out on the pan.

Roast the asparagus for about 10 minutes, until just tender and slightly browned. Remember that they will cook a bit after you remove them from the oven, so take them out while they're still a little firmer than you would like.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, zest, creme fraiche, and Sriracha until smooth.
Slowly pour in the ⅓ cup olive oil, whisking all the while until the dressing is thick, then season with salt and pepper.
Let the asparagus cool slightly, and while still warm drizzle some of the lemon sauce over it.
Serve right away with the rest of the sauce on the side.
