Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs (Italian style or Japanese panko)
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • Oil spray, for coating asparagus fries
  • Dipping sauces (hot sauce, ranch, bbq sauce, etc.)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 5 minutes.
  2. Trim the tough bottom ends off the asparagus spears.
  3. Brush the asparagus with beaten egg and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Combine bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese on a plate. Roll the seasoned asparagus in the mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Spray the breaded asparagus thoroughly with oil spray on all sides.
  6. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 5-8 minutes, then flip and spray any dry spots.
  8. Air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.

Notes

- Use Japanese Panko breadcrumbs for the ultimate crispiness.
- Ensure asparagus is dry before coating for best adhesion.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
