Description
Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks are asparagus spears baked in a crunchy Parmesan coating, making for a savory snack or side dish that is ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Coating and Asparagus
- 500 g fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 100 g panko breadcrumbs
- 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Cooking spray or 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the coating stations: Place all-purpose flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in a separate shallow dish, and combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a third shallow dish.
- Coat the asparagus: Dredge each asparagus spear in flour, shake off excess, dip into beaten eggs, and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Bake the asparagus: Place coated asparagus spears in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil for crisping. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until tender and golden.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately as a warm snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip asparagus halfway through baking and apply additional cooking spray if needed.
