Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks – The Ultimate Snack or Side! 🧀🌱


 

1️⃣ Prep the Asparagus

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Trim tough ends from asparagus (bend to snap naturally).

2️⃣ Set Up Coating Station

  1. In one bowl, mix Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.

  2. In another bowl, whisk egg + mustard.

3️⃣ Coat & Bake

  1. Dip each spear in egg mix, then roll in cheese mixture.

  2. Place on baking sheet, lightly spray with oil (for extra crispness).

  3. Bake 12-15 mins until golden and crispy.

4️⃣ Serve & Devour!

  • Squeeze with lemon and serve with dip of choice.

🔥 Pro Tips

🔹 Use thick spears – Thin ones overcook fast.
🔹 Double the coating – For extra crunch, dip in egg/cheese mix twice.
🔹 Air fryer option – Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 mins.
