Asparagus with Dipping Sauce is a wonderful treat, and fans of asparagus and peanut sauce will love this fun way to eat them together! I love the peanut dipping sauce with a touch of Tahini, but you can skip the tahini and make the sauce with all peanut butter if you prefer!<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Asparagus<\/p>\n

This tasty Asparagus with Dipping Sauce<\/b> is a fantastic recipe that I first made back in 2012, and I’ve been making it over since! I’m guessing more than a few of my current readers haven’t seen it back in the archives. And if you’re an asparagus fan who also likes peanut sauce, you need to try this right away!<\/p>\n

Before I started blogging I wasn’t nearly so much of an asparagus fan as I am now. Then I learned about methods like roasted asparagus, grilled asparagus, and pan-fried asparagus. Now I keep buying asparagus over and over when it finally comes into season in the spring. And now my site has lots of fun asparagus recipes<\/a>! I hope you will try this one.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • asparagus, thick spears preferred <\/li>\n
  • olive oil<\/li>\n
  • sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I didn\u2019t use much salt)<\/li>\n
  • peanut butter, I use Adams 100% Natural Peanut Butter<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • Tahini Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link), or just use more peanut butter if you don’t have Tahini<\/li>\n
  • fresh squeezed lemon juice, I used my fresh-frozen lemon juice<\/a><\/li>\n
  • Golden Monkfruit Sweetener<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • garlic puree or Minced Garlic<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • soy sauce or Gluten-Free Soy Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What is Tahini?<\/h2>\n

    Tahini<\/a> is a paste made from ground sesame seeds, and it’s used as a condiment or ingredient all over the middle east, as well as Africa. It’s probably most well-known as an ingredient in hummus, but it’s good in so many things. There are many good brands, but I’m a huge fan of Soom Tahini<\/a> (affiliate link) and that’s the kind I always buy.<\/p>\n

    What if you don’t have Tahini for the dipping sauce?<\/h2>\n

    Even though the sauce has a generous amount of Tahini, you can make the dipping sauce for asparagus with all peanut butter if you don’t want to buy tahini. But it does add a wonderful sesame flavor, and if you like Tahini you’ll love it in this sauce.<\/p>\n

    What other vegetables would be good with this dipping sauce?<\/h2>\n

    The recipe makes enough sauce for more than one pound of asparagus, but there are other things I think it would taste great with. If you have leftover sauce I’d try it on broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans!<\/p>\n

    How low in carbs is the Asparagus with Dipping Sauce?<\/h2>\n

    This tasty asparagus with tahini-peanut sauce has only 7 net carbs with 7 grams of protein per serving!<\/p>\n

    3. While the asparagus cooks, blend together the peanut butter, Tahini Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link) warm water, lemon juice, Golden Monkfruit Sweetener<\/a> (affiliate link) or sweetener of your choice, Minced Garlic<\/a> (affiliate link), and soy sauce to make the sauce. (You can use more peanut butter if you don’t want to use tahini.)<\/li>\n
