Baked Asparagus Recipe

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.

FYI, Crunchy Baked Cauliflower is phenomenal too!

Ingredients for Baked Asparagus

1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed

1 cup Panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

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.
