How to make Air Fryer Asparagus Fries:

**scroll all the way down for a full ingredients list and printable directions and step-by-step video**

• Prepare the asparagus by cutting or snapping off the hard ends; about 1 inch up the stem and discard those pieces. Wash and dry the asparagus.
• In a shallow dish, add an egg and a bit of water, then whisk and beat until a little frothy. Add the asparagus and toss around to coat.
• In a separate shallow dish or bowl, add panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs, and spices.
  • I like this ‘everything bagel’ spice blend, but if not using that I suggest using a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and some poppy seeds. 
• Add the asparagus spears a few at a time, and toss around until coated. Place them into the air fryer tray. Repeat until all asparagus are coated. 
  • I was able to fit about 16 spears into my air fryer at once. I suggest to cook them in an even layer and do not put them too close together. 

• Lightly spray the tops of the fries with oil spray, and set the air fryer on 8 minutes. Open after 5 minutes, then carefully flip the asparagus spears over, then cook the remaining time. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce!
