Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bunch asparagus (, stalks trimmed and cut in half if you want shorter fries)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • a drizzle of your favorite cooking oil (, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 10 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (, gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F/ 200°C
  • Put asparagus in a flat pan (you can use a bowl but they may not lay flat) and mix with maple syrup, oil if using and smoked paprika. Mix to fully coat.
  • Place almond flour, breadcrumbs, cornmeal, salt and pepper in another bowl or pan and mix to combine.
  • One by one, put asparagus in the dry ingredient mix and toss to coat well. You can also add the dry coating in a plastic bag, place all the asparagus inside and shake to coat. This method is quicker but may not coat them as well.
  • Place the coated asparagus on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite dip.
