1 bunch of asparagus (mine had about 30 spears)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour)
1 cup seasoned panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lay a wire rack on a baking sheet and coat with non-stick spray.
Snap off the tough ends of each asparagus spear. On two separate plates, add the eggs whites (lightly beaten) and the panko + flour + cheese. Season the panko mixture with salt and pepper if desires. Coat each asparagus spear in egg whites, then lay in the panko mixture and thoroughly cover. If the panko won’t stick, dip back in the egg whites and roll in panko once again. Lay each spear on the wire rack.
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

looks delicious! I’m not a huge fan of the panko bread crumbs though. I’ve used them in the baked pickles & zucchini. I would rather use regular bread crumbs.
You could use any kind of bread crumbs. I have never had Panko, but that’s what the recipe called for. Any time I need bread crumbs, I use Stove Top stuffing, and crush it up.
I never thought of using stove top. I’ve never used panko either. I just use crackers now that I have that Ninja.
Yep, that’s what I use for my meat loaf. 🙂 I always thought crackers were too plain.
That’s an excellent idea. Wish I could have claimed that tidbit.
heck, you could use croutons too! I’ve done that before, if I didn’t have any breadcrumbs.
You have the Ninja too? Wow, what a big coincidence again, Joy. I just bought it too for Christmas money I got. It is a great equipment, isn’t it?
That’s funny Ellen. I got mine when I started the weight loss challenges so I could make smoothies but it works so good on crackers and so many other things. I’m not sure how I lived without it.
Yum! I love anything that resembles french fries 😉
I’ve used (and love) Panko – they are VERY crunchy. So if you’re substituting, I’d use coarsely crushed croutons
