I absolutely love potatoes, but I’m always trying to find a way to add a new spin on the traditional French Fry recipe! Since I had an extra bunch of asparagus in the fridge, I decided to make these delicious Crispy Baked Parmesan Asparagus Fries!
We are huge asparagus fans in our home, so the thought of turning asparagus into fries made my family very excited! Besides being oh-so-tasty, asparagus has a lot of great nutritional benefits too!
Did You Know…???
- Asparagus contains a very good source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E and K, as well as chromium, which is a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells.
- One cup of cooked asparagus has only 40 calories, 4 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber and 404 milligrams of potassium.
- Asparagus helps to neutralize cell-damaging free radicals, which may help slow down the aging process and reduce inflammation.

When making this recipe, I reduced the fat and cholesterol content by using only the egg whites, instead of the yolks, and baking the fries instead of deep frying them in oil. These Crispy Baked Parmesan Asparagus Fries were ready in less than 20 minutes, and they did not last very long!
