Asparagus Fries

Another collaborative experiment with Ellie that really paid off! And don't let the name fool you- these are actually baked, not fried!

A healthier and crunchier take on the original, these asparagus fries make a great appetizer, side, or snack! Very simple to prepare and make, all you will need are...
- asparagus spears
- flour
- egg
- panko bread crumbs
- salt
- veggie spray

How to make it:
1. Chop the icky ends off the asparagus and rinse them with water.
2. Roll your asparagus spears in flour.
3. Beat an egg into a shallow bowl, then egg wash your asparagus.
4. Coat your asparagus in panko bread crumbs, covering as much of the asparagus as possible.
5. Sprinkle with salt and spray with veggie spray.
6. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Suggestions to make this even healthier: Try skipping the salt to reduce the sodium!

And for a little extra flavour, try dipping your asparagus fries in lemon or chipotle aioli, or just some good old ketchup!
