Instructions
Step 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F. In a blender, purée the yogurt, tahini, cilantro, parsley, mint, basil, dill, lemon juice, and buttermilk. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then pour into a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
Step 2
On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the asparagus with the oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, then toss to coat. Spread in a single layer and transfer to the oven. Bake until bright green and browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature with the reserved sauce on the side.
