Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with baking paper.
  2. Place asparagus in a colander and wash. Snap off the tough ends.
  3. Add the flour and half of the asparagus to a large Ziplock bag. Shake well to evenly coat the asparagus.
  4. In a large shallow bowl that can fit the asparagus spears, beat the eggs with avocado oil.
  5. In a separate (small) rimmed sheet pan combine the breadcrumbs with parmesan and the seasonings.
  6. Transfer a few of the flour-coated asparagus spears into the bowl with the beaten eggs, fully dipping them, then allowing the excess to drip off.
  7. Next, dip into the breadcrumb mixture and coat on all sides. Place on the prepared large sheet pan. Repeat with all the remaining asparagus spears. Use 2 baking sheets if needed, to avoid overcrowding them.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a crispy golden crust develops.

Notes

  • Store any leftover asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Be sure to snap or cut off the tough ends of asparagus as they are not palatable.
  • Use any flour and breadcrumbs that work for your dietary needs. 
  • To make keto-friendly, swap the gluten-free flour with almond flour and use pork rinds instead of panko. 
  • Place your asparagus in a heavy-bottomed jar or a drinking glass when you get home, add a couple of inches of water to maintain freshness, and place it in your fridge this way. Asparagus will stay fresh several days longer this way.
