Preheat oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. To make the marinade, place the oil, garlic, soy and sesame seeds in a bowl and stir to combine.

To make the dressing, place the tahini, lemon juice and 80ml water in a bowl. Season with salt and whisk until smooth.
To serve, place asparagus on a platter, drizzle with tahini sauce and scatter with crushed chillies, if using.
