Okay these were a hit.  Fresh asparagus coated in panko breadcrumbs then baked to crispy perfection.  Asparagus Fries.  Look at you giving Zucchini Fries a run for their money.

Seasoned flour, egg wash, seasoned panko breadcrumbs, then onto a rack lined baking sheet.  Into a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes until nice and crispy.  That’s it.  Serve ’em up.  I served our Asparagus Fries with a side of Maple Dijon Dipping Sauce.

Found this recipe on my personal Facebook page.  My sister is always on the look out for me/us type recipes and shares ideas on my page.  Let’s all thank Sarah for these yummy Asparagus Fries.
