Deliciously crunchy and flavorful Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks coated in Parmesan and breadcrumbs, baked to crispy perfection while remaining tender inside. A quick and versatile snack or side dish.

Ingredients

  • Fresh asparagus spears
  • Grated Parmesan cheese
  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • Eggs
  • Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and pat them dry.
  3. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In another bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Dip each asparagus spear into the egg, then roll it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. Place the coated asparagus sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil to help them crisp up.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately, optionally with a dipping sauce like marinara or ranch.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute panko with crushed gluten-free crackers or almond flour.
  • Try different cheeses such as Asiago or Pecorino Romano for varied flavors.
  • Add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  • Use fresh asparagus for best results, frozen asparagus tends to be too soft.
