Ingredients
1/2pound(227g)fresh asparagus, ends trimmed
1(1)egg, beaten
1/4teaspoon(1.25ml)salt, or to taste
black pepper, to taste
1/2teaspoon(2.5ml)garlic powder, or to taste
1/4cup(27g)bread crumbs(Italian style or Japanese panko)
Trim the tough bottom ends of the asparagus (usually about the bottom 1-2 inches).
Lay the asparagus out on a board or plate and brush with the beaten egg. Season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder evenly over asparagus. Gently toss to coat evenly.
On a plate combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Toss seasoned asparagus in the bread crumb/parmesan mix, gently shaking off any excess coating.
Spray all sides of the breaded asparagus with oil spray. Dry breading might fly around in air fryer and burn, so make sure to coat any dry spots.
Spray air fryer basket/tray and place asparagus in the air fryer in a single layer.
Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 5-8 minutes. Gently flip and spray any remaining dry spots with oil spray.
Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for additional 3-5 minutes or until crispy golden brown. Serve warm with your favorite dip.
