Baked Asparagus Spears
We see your Asparagus and raise you to these delicious Baked Asparagus Spears! They’ve got a crispy outside but tender inside… yummo!
Ingredients:
½ cup sliced almonds
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
450g asparagus, ends trimmed and cut in half
¾ cup plain flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic aioli, to serve
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C.
Place the almonds and panko breadcrumbs in a food processor and pulse until the almonds are finely ground. Add mixture to a shallow dish.
Dredge the asparagus spears in the flour (shaking off any excess flour), then dip into the egg wash, before finally coating each spear in the panko/almond mixture.
Season the crumbed spears with salt and pepper, then place them onto a lined baking tray. Spray the spears with a light coat of cooking spray.
Bake the spears in the oven for 15-20 mins or until the outside is crisp and lightly brown.
Serve the baked asparagus spears with garlic aioli, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
