→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound thick asparagus (or ½ pound thin asparagus, trimmed)
02 -
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
03 -
2 large eggs
04 -
½ teaspoon salt
05 -
½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
07 -
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
08 -
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
09 -
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
10 -
Any desired dipping sauce (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Wash and pat dry asparagus until thoroughly dried. Trim the tough ends.
02 -
Mix all-purpose flour, eggs, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper in a broad dish until well combined.
03 -
Pulse panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, and red pepper flakes in a food processor until coarsely ground. Transfer to a separate dish or plate.
04 -
Dip each asparagus spear into the egg-flour batter, ensuring it is coated thoroughly. Then gently coat with the parmesan-panko mixture and place onto a plate.
05 -
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 7 minutes.
06 -
Transfer asparagus to the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping. Spray with non-stick cooking spray for a golden crust (optional). Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until deep golden in color.
07 -
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or marinara.
# Notes:
01 -
Cook asparagus in a single layer to ensure even crispiness.
02 -
Thick asparagus spears hold their shape better than thin ones, especially when cold.
03 -
Using non-stick spray enhances the golden crust but can be skipped for an oil-free option.
