Confession time.
I don’t really like asparagus.
Broccoli, string beans, peas, zucchini- 100%, yes I love those greenies!
But asparagus, no.
Hubby loves them though and I know they’re good for me.
So I eat them.
Doube-dredged and fried though.
And guess what? I love them! ;)
With a fresh squeeze of lemon and some extra salt atop, they really are delish. Perfect for an appetizer or maybe even to get your kids to eat them.
Or wife, I suppose too.
Enjoy….
Double-Dredged Air Fried Asparagus
Servings: 2-4 as an appetizer
Ingredients:
1 bunch asparagus, rinsed and trimmed
2 eggs, beaten
1.5 C Italian Style Breadcrumbs
3 TBS grated Parmesan cheese
Olive Oil Spray
Kosher salt, to taste
1 lemon, quartered
Place the eggs in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese
Working 2 at a time, dip and coat the asparagus into the egg mixture then into the breadcrumb mixture. Then, dip those same 2 into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture again. Set aside and continue with the remaining asparagus
Preheat air fryer to 400 F or your highest setting
Place half of breaded asparagus into air fryer, spray them equally with oil spray and fry for about 4 minutes, then flip, spray and fry the other side for about 3-4 minutes or until deep golden
Remove from air fryer and repeat with the other batch
Liberally sprinkle salt atop and a good squeeze of lemon
Optional- you can also leave out the lemon and sprinkle extra grated Parmesan atop and a drizzle of balsamic glaze!
