Roasted Asparagus with Buttermilk Dressing

24 sticks of asparagus

1½ cups (360 mL) buttermilk
1/8 tsp smoked paprika
2 Tbs (30 mL) coconut milk
1/8 tsp xanthan gum
To taste salt and sugar
Preparation
- Clean asparagus and drizzle with oil.
- Grill until slightly charred, or roast in an oven at 400º F for a few minutes, or until tender.
