Crumbed asparagus

Crumbed asparagus is a delightful, crunchy appetizer or side dish that brings a twist to your regular asparagus. Coated in a crispy breadcrumb layer, these asparagus spears are sure to be a hit at any meal. This easy-to-follow recipe will guide you through the steps to create this delicious dish.

Ingredients:

3/4 lb asparagus
340g
1 egg
50g
2 tbsp all-purpose white wheat flour
30g
1 cup bread crumbs
90g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Asparagus:
- Start by washing the asparagus under cold running water.
- Trim the tough ends of the asparagus, usually about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
2. Set Up Coating Stations:
- In a shallow dish, beat the egg lightly with a fork.
- Place the all-purpose flour in a separate shallow dish.
- Spread the bread crumbs evenly in another shallow dish or bowl. Season the bread crumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Coat the Asparagus:
- Take each asparagus spear, first dredge it in the flour to coat it lightly. Shake off any excess.
- Dip it in the beaten egg, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Finally, roll the egg-coated asparagus in the bread crumbs until it’s fully coated. Press the crumbs gently to make sure they adhere well.
4. Cooking Methods:
- Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Place the coated asparagus in a single layer on the sheet. Spray them lightly with cooking oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.
- Frying: In a skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the asparagus in batches. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:
- Once cooked, you can serve the crumbed asparagus immediately. They make a great appetizer or side dish.

Tips:

- Make sure to trim the tough ends of the asparagus before starting the breading process.

- For added flavor, you can season the bread crumbs with herbs and spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan cheese.

- To ensure even coating, lightly dust the asparagus in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs. Press gently to make the crumbs stick.

- For a healthier option, consider baking the crumbed asparagus in the oven instead of frying. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

- Serve the crumbed asparagus immediately after cooking to maintain their crispy texture.

With these simple steps and common ingredients, you can easily make a delicious batch of crumbed asparagus. Serve them hot and enjoy the satisfying crunch with every bite. This dish pairs well with a variety of dips and can complement many main courses.
