Parmesan Panko Asparagus Spears Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray the inside of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place asparagus in the dish and lightly spray spears with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine egg and honey in a long, narrow dish and beat together. Combine panko and Parmesan cheese in a separate plate. Coat each asparagus stalk in egg mixture and roll in panko mix to coat.
• Place 6 spears in the air fryer and cook to desired brownness, 4 to 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining spears.
• Combine mustard, yogurt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Serve dipping sauce alongside asparagus spears.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Prepare the asparagus by trimming off the tough woody stem.
• Set up a breading station by whipping the egg whites and mayonnaise together (the mayonnaise helps the whites stick to the asparagus). Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
• In a separate, dish add the panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and paprika. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix. Dip each asparagus spear in the egg wash and then coat evenly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Place the spears on a wire rack over a baking sheet and lightly drizzle with some olive oil (this will help them crisp up).
• Bake until golden and crispy, 15 to 17 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F Line a baking sheet with foil; coat with cooking spray.
• Combine mayonnaise, scallions, miso, chile-garlic sauce and oil in a small bowl.
• Place asparagus in a shallow dish and toss with half the miso mixture (about 1/4 cup), making sure the asparagus is well coated.
• Combine panko and sesame seeds in another shallow dish. Working with one spear at a time, roll in the panko mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of room between each spear. Coat the prepared spears with cooking spray.
• Roast the asparagus until the coating is browned and crispy and the asparagus is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with the remaining miso mixture as a dipping sauce.
• TIPS & NOTES.
• Miso is fermented soybean paste made by inoculating a mixture of soybeans, salt and grains (usually barley or rice) with koji, a beneficial mold. Miso is undeniably salty, so a little goes a long way. White or sweet miso (Shiromiso), made with soy and rice, is yellow and milder in flavor; use for soup, salad dressings and sauces for fish or chicken. Look for it near tofu at well-stocked supermarkets.
• Although we typically use whole-wheat panko-style breadcrumbs, for this recipe we recommend using white, Japanese-style panko breadcrumbs for the best texture and flavor. Look for them in the Asian-food section of most supermarkets or near other breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lightly coat asparagus with cooking spray; place on prepared baking sheet. Combine Parmesan cheese and garlic salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Bake in preheated oven for 6 minutes; turn asparagus and continue baking until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Sprinkle Parmesan cheese mixture over asparagus.
