This delicious dish can be served for breakfast, as an appetizer or even as a side dish. Serve it with a Hollandaise sauce, if you wish. This dish is a must during asparagus season.

Ingredients

  • 10 fresh asparagus sprigs, woody ends snapped off
  • 3 T. olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 c. plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 T. minced parsley
  • 1/2 T. grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
  • red pepper flakes, if desired
  • fried bacon, turkey bacon, ham, prosciutto, if desired

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Place asparagus on a baking sheet; drizzle with 1 T. olive oil; sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the ends are crispy.
  3. In the meantime, mix together the breadcrumbs with parsley, Parmesan cheese, 1/4 t. black pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
