Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil or cooking spray For greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
- Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Place flour in the first shallow bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and in a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Roll each asparagus spear in the flour until lightly coated, dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press gently to help the coating stick.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the coated asparagus sticks on the sheet in a single layer. Spray lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even crisping.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Best enjoyed hot, paired with your favorite dip.
Notes
For the crispiest results, ensure asparagus is dry before breading. Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the spears. You can also air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes.
