Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks
Ingredients:
1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 lb), trimmed
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow dish, place the flour. In a second shallow dish, add the beaten eggs. In a third dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Asparagus:
Working with a few asparagus spears at a time, dredge each spear in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Arrange and Bake:
Place the coated asparagus sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with a little olive oil.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the coating is golden and crispy.
Serve:
Serve these Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks hot, with a side of marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping!
