For best results, use fresh, firm asparagus spears. Thinner spears will cook more quickly. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the asparagus; otherwise, the coating may become soggy. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy asparagus. Experiment with different cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago, for a unique flavor profile. Consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the dry mixture for added depth of flavor. This recipe works well with other vegetables, such as green beans or zucchini.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPour vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). (Approximately 5-7 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until well combined. (Approximately 1 minute)
03
StepIn a separate shallow dish, stir together baking mix, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed. (Approximately 1 minute)
04
StepDip each asparagus spear into the milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)
05
StepImmediately transfer the milk-soaked asparagus to the dry mixture, rolling and pressing gently to ensure a thorough coating. For a thicker, extra-crispy crust, repeat the dipping and coating process. (Approximately 5-7 minutes)
06
StepCarefully place the coated asparagus spears into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2 to 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides. (Approximately 8-12 minutes)
07
StepRemove the fried asparagus from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and transfer to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
