Healthy Asparagus Fries
Healthy Asparagus Fries are the best alternative for unhealthy french fries! These fries don’t require any deep frying because they are baked until crisp perfection with parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb thick asparagus, trimmed
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Prepare 3 separate bowls: beaten eggs, flour, and panko mixed with parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- One by one dip each asparagus stick into the flour making sure to fully coat it, then dip in eggs mixture, and roll in the breadcrumbs mixture. (The last step is the most important!).
- Arrange the breaded asparagus on a large baking sheet separate from each other. You may need to do this in batches.
- Bake for 10 minutes until breadcrumbs have turned golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with ranch dressing or similar lighter sauce.
