How to make Charred Asparagus with Citrus Bagna Cauda

Place a rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 177°C. Scatter almonds across a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing once, until darkened a little and fragrant, 8–10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then coarsely chop.

Cook anchovies, garlic, oregano, lemon zest, orange zest, butter, and 2 tablespoons oil in a small saucepan over low heat, swirling occasionally, until garlic is golden, 15–20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in orange and lemon juices and season with salt and pepper. Let bagna cauda sit while you prepare the asparagus.

Heat grill. Toss asparagus with remaining 1 tablespoon oil on a rimmed baking sheet to coat; season with salt and pepper. Grill until deeply browned in spots and crisp-tender, 5–8 minutes.

Toss asparagus and bagna cauda together on a platter; top with almonds.
