Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Trim and discard bottom 1 inch from asparagus. Trim, peel, and cut squash lengthwise into sticks (like fries–ours were 3 inches long and ⅓-inch thick). Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds; halve remaining lemon.
In a medium bowl, toss asparagus, squash, and lemon rounds with a drizzle of olive oil and 2 teaspoons Ranch Seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Spread out in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast on middle rack until tender and lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine crème fraîche, ½ teaspoon Ranch Seasoning, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Drizzle veggies with lemon-herb crème fraîche and serve.
