Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the asparagus in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Meanwhile, prepare the truffle aioli by combining mayonnaise, black truffle oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and adjust seasoning as needed. For a more intense truffle flavor, add a little more truffle oil.
Once the asparagus is roasted, transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with the truffle aioli or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
