Instructions 

  • Spread the asparagus pieces, onion and garlic over a large baking sheet.

  • Roast in a preheated 400 F. oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing once half way through the cooking time.
  • Remove from oven when done and set aside to cool slightly.
  • While the vegetables are roasting melt the butter in a medium size sauce pan on medium high.
  • Add the flour, salt and pepper to the sauce pan once the butter has melted.
  • Whisk the dry ingredients into the butter and cook for 2 minutes, whisking continuously.
