One of my absolute favorite side dishes is parmesan asparagus fries. Yes, I call them fries for the sole purpose of winning over my children.
Seriously though, asparagus is probably my favorite vegetable (though broccoli is a close second). And parmesan on almost anything, but especially vegetables, is always a win.

How to Make Parmesan Asparagus Fries
One of the best things about this recipe is that as long as you have asparagus on hand, you probably already have everything you need to make this right now. Another great thing about this recipe is that it’s a little messy so kids love to get involved. And whenever kids help cook, they’re more likely to enjoy the results and eat without complaining!
Step 1 – Prepare
To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Then, set 3 plates with a decent lip side by side.
On the first plate, you’ll add flour. On the second plate, you’ll add the beaten eggs. And on the third plate, you’ll put the bread crumb/parmesan mixture.
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet.
Step 2 – Coat the Asparagus
Now it’s time to get the kids involved! First, have them coat the asparagus with flour.
Then, dip the flour-coated asparagus in the beaten egg. Next, roll the asparagus in the breadcrumb/parmesan mixture.
Once fully coated, place each asparagus piece on the wire rack.
Step 3 – Bake
Bake for 7 to 13 minutes (until the coating is golden brown) and serve immediately.
