Ingredients
  

For the Breading
  • 1 lb asparagus (trimmed) Select firm asparagus with brightly colored tips.
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour Can substitute with coconut flour, but use less.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan (grated) Any hard cheese can be used.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for more flavor.
  • vegetable oil for frying Olive or avocado oil can be used as alternatives.
  • salt Adjust to taste.
  • pepper Adjust to taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by mixing together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  2. Next, take each trimmed asparagus spear and dip it in the beaten egg, ensuring it is well coated.
  3. After dipping in egg, roll the asparagus in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
  2. Carefully add the coated asparagus to the hot oil in batches.
  3. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, remove the asparagus from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.
  2. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

For optimal results, ensure asparagus is dry before breading. Serve immediately after frying to maintain crispiness. Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
