Ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus ends snapped
- ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs gluten-free if needed
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 tabelespoon avocado oil
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- OPTIONAL: Parsley and Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with baking paper.
- Place asparagus in a colander and wash. Snap off the tough ends.
- Add the flour and half of the asparagus to a large Ziplock bag. Shake well to evenly coat the asparagus.
- In a large shallow bowl that can fit the asparagus spears, beat the eggs with avocado oil.
- In a separate (small) rimmed sheet pan combine the breadcrumbs with parmesan and the seasonings.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
