Servings: 4 -6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus
- ⅓ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 cup crushed potato chips
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
- dash of cayenne pepper
- ½ cup gluten free flour I used sprouted oat flour
- 2 eggs beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven 425 degrees
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Rinse asparagus and break off woody ends*
- Grate parmesan cheese with smallest grate on box grater and add to a mixing bowl.
- I pulsed the potato chips in the food processor which only took a few seconds and got them the perfect texture**
- Add crushed potato chips to parmesan cheese, along with garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Add eggs to separate bowl and beat well.
- Place flour on separate plate.
- Starting with flour, roll asparagus into flour, dip into egg, and then parmesan mixture.
- Lay on baking sheet and bake in preheated oven 15 minutes.
- Rotate and bake an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Can be served plain or with a dipping sauce***
Notes
* the asparagus should easily snap at that point.
**could also put them in a plastic bag and crush with rolling pan. Food processor is just much more efficient if you have one.
***I used a dipping sauce that consisted of mayo, dill weed, lime juice and garlic powder
