Ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus ends trimmed
- ½ cup gluten-free flour 1-to-1 blend
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp milk almond milk or soy milk
- 1 Tbsp olive oil

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

- Bowl 3: Toss the cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Take 4-5 asparagus spears at a time and place them in bowl 1 (flour blend), dip them in bowl 2 (egg wash), and then coat them in bowl 3 with the Parmesan and breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining asparagus spears.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place coated asparagus spears evenly spaced out onto the baking sheets.
- Spritz asparagus spears with butter or coconut-flavored non-stick cooking spray and bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
