Asparagus

Constantly looking for new ways to enjoy this vegetable, this recipe right here takes the cake! With this Crispy Garlic Parmesan Salmon and Crispy Baked Shrimp Scampi still going crazy on Facebook, I thought what would happen if I merged THAT topping with THIS vegetable. Well holy greens, it came out better than expected. So extremely addictive, It’s hard to stop at one!

How To Make Crispy Garlic Parmesan Asparagus

There’s no need for any frying to get these crispy results! All you need is an oven and a baking sheet.

Dump all ingredients into a big bowl and massage each spear with the crumb topping to evenly coat them. Don’t worry if it doesn’t ‘stick’ to the spears… you want a loose topping over them. What you DO want is all of those garlicky flavours coating each one! Bake in the oven until the crust is a beautiful and perfect golden brown colour and ENJOY!

Helpful tips:

  • Works well with both fat and thick spears or thin spears.
  • Use Panko for a crispy, crunchy topping and added texture, rather than plain breadcrumbs.
  • Fresh grated Parmesan tastes better in this recipe.
  • Unsalted butter is used to allow you to adjust the amount of salt. In this recipe we used 1/2-3/4 teaspoon.

    Wasn’t a huge asparagus fan but only because I hadn’t found a way to perfect it, this recipe has changed my mind! My husband always asks for a crispy asparagus side and I’ve never been able to deliver yet this one won him over, perfect amount of crisp bursting with flavors and most items are easily found in the fridge and at reach.

    I’ve tried a few times to make asparagus and failed miserably everytime until now.
    This kept the asparagus firm with a little crisp and the breadcrumb mixture was amazing.
    This is the perfect side to my lunch time ribeye!

      You will add the 5 cloves of garlic in with all the ingredients and top the asparagus with it. Hope that helps clarify. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you so much! XO
