Oven Baked Asparagus Fries
Description
This recipe prepares fresh asparagus spears by trimming and coating them first in flour, then dipping in an egg and milk mixture, and finally in a seasoned panko breadcrumb mixture blended with Parmesan cheese and olive oil for crispness. The coated spears are placed on a parchment-lined baking sheet, lightly sprayed with cooking spray to help browning and crisping during baking at 400°F. Baking time is around 16-18 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
The asparagus fries have a crunchy exterior with a tender vegetable center, combining the mild vegetal flavor of asparagus with savory notes from garlic powder, paprika, and Parmesan. The recipe suggests serving with a homemade lemon aioli dip, made from mayonnaise, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, adding a tangy and creamy complement.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus about 16 spears
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ⅛ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine Panko Bread Crumbs, parmesan cheese, seasonings, and olive oil in a food processor. Divide the crumb mixture into two, working with only half of the mixture at a time. If the mixture gets too wet, it will not stick.
- Wash asparagus and snap off the bottom. Pat dry and toss with flour in a zippered bag.
- Beat egg and milk together and add to the zippered bag then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the asparagus and place on a parchment lined pan.
- Spray each spear with a little bit of cooking spray. Bake 16-18 minutes or until crust is crispy.
- Serve with lemon aioli (see notes for recipe).
Notes
- To prepare lemon aioli, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt for a bright dipping sauce.
- For best texture, coat asparagus in flour before egg wash and breadcrumbs to help the coating adhere well.
- Use cooking spray to encourage even browning and crispiness during baking.
