Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt to taste

Fresh lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up and to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

      Prepare the Asparagus: Rinse the asparagus under cool water and dry thoroughly. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus (about 1-2 inches from the bottom) to ensure they're tender.

        Coat the Asparagus: In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg and olive oil together until well combined. Dip each asparagus spear into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated. Place the coated asparagus on the prepared baking sheet.

          Bake the Asparagus: Arrange the asparagus fries in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through the baking time for even crispiness.

            Serve: Remove the asparagus fries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
