Crispy Baked Asparagus

CRISPY BAKED ASPARAGUS

Nothing says Springtime quite like Asparagus! I tried this recipe on some friends at church and it was a hit. (I didn't get my own picture taken so I borrowed this one from the site I used to adapt this to make it my own.) Be sure to buy good fresh asparagus with tight heads and nice green stalks.

1 pound fresh asparagus
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Heat the oven to 425ยบ. Clean the asparagus. Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, herbs and spices in a bowl. Dip 5-6 stalks at a time into the beaten egg, then into the bread crumb mixture. Lay in a single layer on a raised rack so air will circulate around it as it bakes. 

Bake about 10 minutes, serve warm.
