Baked Asparagus

Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies!  I usually just roast my asparagus with garlic and coconut oil but I wanted to try something a little different this week.

I simply baked it with a little panko coating for a yummy crunch. And boy, was I in for a treat. It’s like little asparagus french fries. 🙂

If you have an air fryer, I bet they would be amazing too.

Ingredients for Baked Asparagus

1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed

1 cup Panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs, beaten

Pepper to taste

How to make Crunchy Baked Asparagus

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with coconut oil or olive oil

In a zip lock bag or grocery bag, combine Panko and Parmesan cheese.

In another bag, add the flour.

Put the beaten eggs in a shallow dish.

Place the asparagus in flour bag and shake until coated. You can work in batches if you’d like.

Remove from the flour and dip into eggs

Then place the asparagus in the panko / Parmesan cheese bag and shake until coated with this mixture.

Place asparagus in a single layer onto the greased baking sheet.

Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

ENJOY!!!
