The Ultimate Crispy Parmesan Asparagus Sticks are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. Fresh asparagus spears are coated in a flavorful mixture of Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs, then baked until golden and crispy. Perfect for any occasion, these asparagus sticks are sure to be a hit at your next gathering or dinner table.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the asparagus sticks won’t stick to the tray and will cook evenly.
Set up three shallow dishes—one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each trimmed asparagus spear in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the floured asparagus spear into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, roll the asparagus spear in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Place the coated asparagus spears onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer.
Lightly spray the coated asparagus spears with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve the crispy Parmesan asparagus sticks hot as a snack or side dish.
