Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh Asparagus woody stalks snapped off
  • 1 ½ cup plain Panko bread crumbs
  • cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • ½ - 1 tsp Salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour you can substitute any flour for this step
  • 2 Eggs room temperature & beaten
  • Lemon optional
  • Garlic Lemon Dip

Instructions
 

  • 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.
