Baked Parmesan Asparagus Fries

Baked Asparagus Fries are a healthier alternative to regular fries. Asparagus stalks are coated in panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and baked until crispy. These days I’m all about vegetable fries. And I especially love baked vegetable fries. They satisfy my craving for fries without all the guilt. I’ve been making so many baked crispy panko-coated foods that I started buying panko in bulk on Amazon.* It’s cheaper than buying multiple small boxes that only last for 1-2 uses.

Asparagus coated in panko and parmesan cheese and baked until crispy is a healthier alternative to regular fries.

INGREDIENTS:

 1 lb asparagus stalks trimmed (try to choose the regular stalks as opposed to slim or extra thick stalks)

 2 large eggs whisked

 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

 cooking oil spray

 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

 2 cups panko bread crumbs

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a three-quarter baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread panko crumbs evenly across the lined baking sheet, keeping your panko crumbs to a thin layer. Spray panko crumbs surface with cooking oil spray.
2. Bake panko crumbs for about 5 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and let cool. Turn oven heat to 425°F.
3. Once bread crumbs are cooled, mix in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese while panko remains on the pan. Then spread out mixture evenly across baking sheet again. Line a separate three quarter baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. In a container long enough to fit asparagus, pour in whisked eggs. I used an 8-inch loaf pan. In a separate container long enough to fit asparagus, pour in flour.
