TL;DR for Asparagus Parmesan Fries
Healthy and incredibly addictive, Asparagus Parmesan Fries. Serve at your next BBQ, dinner party or Sunday dinner.
This is one of those side dishes that becomes a meal to me, Asparagus Parmesan Fries.
Here’s the deal, asparagus are one of my favorite veggies. Here they are laced with Parmesan cheese and then baked until golden and truly perfected. Well, yah, that would make them pretty darn tasty.
I usually share, but this time I’m guilty of eating a pound of asparagus in a day. I think the appropriate word to describe these Asparagus Parmesan Fries, would be addictive. Every time I walked passed, they would diminish in numbers. Now the asparagus are no more to be had, which means it’s time to head to the grocery store!
Not only is this dish insanely tasty, but it’s also oh so good for you. If you’re a Parmesan lover like me, you’ll want to try my Parmesan truffle fries, too. And please, I’m begging you, skip the powdery stuff. For the Parmesan here, buy the block and coarsely grate it yourself (my preference always), or grab a good quality pre-grated from the deli or refrigerated section. It makes a real difference.
Make more than one batch and try to share.
Asparagus Parmesan Fries
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease baking sheet with cooking spray (I love the coconut oil spray) or use parchment paper to line baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Panko, Parmesan, Salt & Pepper together, place in a shallow bowl and set aside.
- Trim the Asparagus by gently bending the woody end until it naturally snaps off, discard. Set aside.
- Set up your work area like an assembly line, with your trimmed Asparagus, a shallow bowl of the Flour, then the beaten Eggs and finally a shallow bowl of the Parmesan mixture and prepared baking sheet.
- Dredge the Asparagus in the flour, shaking off excess. The flour is to give it a little texture for the egg to stick to. Now coat the Asparagus with the Egg mixture and finally the Parmesan mixture, gently pressing the coating to encourage it to stick.
- Place breaded Asparagus on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make in batches if needed.
- Bake in the 425°F preheated oven in the middle of oven for about 10 - 12 minutes or until the the Parmesan coating is golden. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Thank you Abra!
These do look amazing! I don’t think I would want to share, either!!! I am definitely making these ASAP!
I love asparagus, and with all of that gorgeous crispy parmesan…talk about irresistible! That garlic lemon dip sounds like the perfect accompaniment to these asparagus fries, too. I definitely wouldn’t want to share these!
This is my absolute favourite thing to make with asparagus. I never add lemon, but maybe I should!
Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies, too, and combined with parmesan!? Hello, I will be eating all of this for dinner, definitely no need for a “main” for me! 🙂
Could these asparagus fries look any better!? I can not wait to try these. I love asparagus and parmesan but have never tried them together. This needs to change.
The panko crumbs are such a good idea for extra crunch! Love this as a side or even as an appetizer. Plus, I’m a cheese girl all the way, everything taste better with a little extra cheese!
Wow, my family loves asparagus and I do agree, I sometimes make a batch of asparagus just for myself. Such an awesome recipe. Like a french fry without all the carbs and calories. Just love the combo of the asparagus and the dipping sauce.
This looks awesome! I love asparagus and the thought of them coated in crunchy panko and then dipped in Garlic Lemon Dip sounds so yum!
I’m loving these asparagus fries! I’m always looking for recipes that seem indulgent but are really healthy.
I regularly have asparagus as a side with pork or beef ribs but they also make for a quick healthy snack so I’m always looking for ways to flavor them up! This recipe is just the ticket! I’ll be saving this!
the perfect side dish, healthy and so gorgeous! I noticed you used thin asparagus, will it work for fatter asparagus too or do you need to make adjustments? I don’t want it to be too crunchy 🙂
Ooooh what a delicious way to eat asparagus. The cheese looks so nice and crispy!
