I grew up eating asparagus – it was one of the vegetables we grew in our garden while I was a kid – and I’ve always loved it. But I have to admit that I’ve never been very adventurous when it comes to cooking asparagus. Steamed or pan fried or tossed in some pasta. That’s about it. I decided that I needed to find a new way to dress up my asparagus (and maybe make it a little more appealing to my kids who aren’t always fans of cooked green things…). Since I know that they love fries (and just about anything breaded) I was curious how they’d enjoy breaded asparagus “fries.”
I grabbed some Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs from my pantry. Seriously, I always have Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs on hand. Once I tried them over traditional bread crumbs, I couldn’t go back. They’re the perfect place to start for any breaded dish like this one.
Did you know that Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs are made from specially baked, crustless bread? Panko bread crumbs are larger, crispier, and lighter, so they coat foods better and keep them crispier longer, whether you’re baking or frying. And since Kikkoman Bread Crumbs are unseasoned, you can even use them in sweet recipes.
I love using Kikkoman Bread Crumbs whenever I make our family-favorite baked chicken nuggets. I make Asian food at home frequently, and so I’m not only using Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs regularly, but I’ve always got Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Teriyaki Marinade on hand in the refrigerator. There’s no other brand I trust more for bringing delicious Asian flavors to our dinner table!
Ready to see how easy it was to make these delicious baked asparagus fries? This vegetable side dish would be a perfect addition to this year’s holiday meal, don’t you think?
Baked Asparagus Fries
Ingredients:
- 1 lb asparagus spears
- 1 cup Kikkoman Panko Bread Crumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a wide, shallow bowl combine panko, parmesan cheese, ¼ cup flour, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and pepper.
- Add remaining ½ cup flour to another wide bowl, and add eggs to a third bowl.
- Dredge each asparagus spear in flour, then dip in eggs, then roll in panko mixture; press to coat.
- Place asparagus in a single row on the baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 425°F, or until panko is golden brown and crispy.

My fav holiday veggie is green beans. I make them from scratch using only fresh or fresh frozen beans. I fill a big stock pot with the beans, water, EVOO, minced garlic, onion, and oregano and let them boil for a couple of hours. SO GOOD! I love them. I make them this way all year long but they are always on the holiday menu.

This sounds delicious. I love how the panko gives it a crunch and the parmesan gives it a nice salty flavor.
