by Karissa's Vegan Kitchen
These healthy asparagus fries are coated in panko to make them super crispy and crunchy. There is also an optional recipe for spicy vegan garlic aioli sauce to dip your asparagus in!
Ingredients
Baked Asparagus Fries
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup aquafaba*
Spicy Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 2 cloves of garlic crushed or minced
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
Baked Asparagus Fries
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Trim off the tough ends of the asparagus.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the panko, garlic powder, and salt. Pour the aquafaba into another dish.
- Coat each spear of asparagus in the aquafaba, then in the panko mixture.
- Place into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes (until the panko is browned and the asparagus is tender.)
Spicy Garlic Aioli Dipping Sauce
- If you want a super tasty dipping sauce to go along with your asparagus fries, simply mix all of the sauce ingredients together. Add more cayenne if you love things super spicy.
Notes
*Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of chickpeas. It works great as an egg substitute in many vegan recipes.
