Baked Asparagus Fries with Roasted Garlic Aioli Recipe
Instructions:
1 .MAKE THE AIOLI
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
One-third of the top of the head of garlic should be sliced off. To prepare the bottom portion, place it on a piece of foil, sprinkle it with olive oil, and
-
season it with salt and pepper. After placing the top portion back on the head of garlic, crumple the foil to make a pouch that is waterproof and airtight.
- Garlic should be roasted for thirty minutes, or until it has become more tender.
- When the garlic has finished roasting, take it out of the oven and squeeze the cloves into a bowl of medium size. Using a fork, mash the mayonnaise and lemon juice together until they are completely incorporated. Depending on your preference, season the aioli with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the dish in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve it.
2 .MAKE THE ASPARAGUS
- Turn the oven down to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place parchment paper on a baking pan and set it aside. (Please refer to Kelly’s Note.)
- You should combine the egg whites and the mayonnaise in a baking dish that is shallow and mix them together. It is the mayonnaise that assists the eggs in adhering to the asparagus.
- Panko breadcrumbs, minced parsley, and Parmesan cheese should be mixed together in a separate baking dish that is shallow.
- Take each spear of asparagus and dunk it in the egg mixture until it is completely covered. After that, dredge it in the breadcrumbs and press it down to ensure that it is firmly attached to the asparagus. After the baking sheet has been prepared, transfer the asparagus to it.
- The remaining asparagus should be breaded in the same manner as the first batch, with approximately one inch of space between each spear on the baking sheet.
- After lightly spraying the asparagus with cooking spray, bake it for fifteen to twenty minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color and a crisp texture.
- Take the asparagus fries out of the oven and serve them right away with the roasted garlic aioli that you have prepared.
