Baked, Breaded Asparagus

     On PBS I caught an excellent recipe for a baked asparagus. Crunchy like French fries. Something a bit different. Maybe a bit more healthy too. But with all the ingredients, maybe not. But tasty anyway. 
    Some of us may have never liked asparagus. I did not as a child, but do now. Or at least give it a try. 
    Get about a pound of asparagus. Always wash your vegetables. Even if it says it is washed when you buy it. Cut it in half length wise. In a bowl whisk two eggs. Add flour, Panko bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.This can get a little thick. Just put a little water in and coat the asparagus in batter. Some put mayonnaise on the asparagus before coating with batter. I did not because I did not find any mayo in the fridge. Guess I should get some. 
    At any rate, preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Use a cookie sheet and spray it with Pam. Cooking time will vary as to how your oven works and how crisp you want the asparagus. So just watch it as you cook and try a sample after about 15 minutes to determine when you feel they are done. 
    A nice little different treat. Again found on PBS.
