These quick and easy Air Fryer Asparagus Fries are a healthy snack that everyone will love. Pair it with your favorite dipping sauce for a fun appetizer finger food!
Rinse and dry the asparagus spears. Take one spear and hold in two hand. Bend until the spear snaps close to the end. This is the spot to trim the remaining spears. Trim all the spears and set aside.
Set up the breading station in 3 shallow dishes — one with 1/2 cup flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a combination of Panko and seasoned bread crumbs.
Dredge each asparagus spear in the flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and then dredge in the panko/bread crumbs mixture.
Gently shaking off the excess. Lay on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Very lightly spray the breaded asparagus with cooking spray.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. Place a single layer of prepared asparagus in the air fryer basket and air fry for 7 minutes.
Remove carefully the air fried spears with tongs. Continue to air fry the remaining spears until all are cooked.
Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Be sure to trim the bottom of the spears.
Make sure the spear is fully coated in egg before adding the breadcrumbs.
Shake in some garlic powder in the breadcrumbs.
Add a little parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mixture to a nutty flavor.
