Pasmesan Asparagus Fries Recipe
Parmesan Asparagus Fries Recipe is a crispy, cheesy and healthy snack or side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare Asparagus
- Wash and trim asparagus. Pat dry with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Mix Coating
- In bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Toss with Olive Oil
- Drizzle asparagus with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Coat Asparagus
- Roll each asparagus spear in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to stick coating.
Arrange on Tray
- Place coated asparagus in single layer on tray. Do not overcrowd.
Bake Fries
- Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and crispy. Turn halfway through for even cooking.
Optional Air Fry
- Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 8–10 minutes for extra crispiness.
Serve Hot
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm asparagus for best texture.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan before serving for more flavor.
- Try air fryer for faster cooking and crunchier fries.
- Serve with garlic aioli, ranch or ketchup for dipping.
- Avoid thin asparagus; thicker spears hold coating better.
- Do not skip patting dry; wet asparagus makes coating fall off.
