Baked Asparagus Fries

I almost feel guilty about writing a post right now when I should be doing work.

But these asparagus fries are so good, I can’t help but share them! They are so easy to make, I can make them in between grading papers. Which are due tomorrow, and I still have 4 to go. They are looking longer and longer every time I pick them up.

But back to this asparagus. You can barely call them fries because of how much better for you they are then any of the deep fried potatoes you would get at your typical restaurant.

And they are baked. Um, hello? That is basically the only way I will eat my asparagus because of how good it tastes. Have you tried asparagus baked? If you haven’t, this should be your #1 priority.

Or an appetiser idea to bookmark for Easter. Just saying.

Also, can you believe this is made with only 5 ingredients? One being asparagus and the other 4 ingredients you probably have on hand: flour, eggs, breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Can you think of a better combo?

Now I am mega craving these Baked Asparagus Fries. We scarfed it down last night. Honestly, I barely had time to take the photos. I promise, if you make this recipe, there will be no leftovers.

So here’s the deal. You go make these right now while I go mark the rest of my papers? Deal? Okay, wish me luck!
