Hemp Crusted Asparagus Fries

Skip to recipe

This recipe is using the same crust that I used in the Hemp crusted tofu sticks. I had some leftover from the recipe…I saw some asparagus, and bam! Something new and fun. It goes awesome with my keto/vegan cashew honey mustard dip. 

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup hemp hearts
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp unsweetened almond  milk
• 1 tsp of  Jersey Bonfire Garlic hot sauce

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

   

3. Mix milk with mustard (and hot sauce if using).
4. Combine dry ingredients.
5. Roll asparagus in wet mixture, then dry mixture.
6. Place on a baking sheet, and repeat with remaining asparagus spears.
7. Bake for 12 minutes, rotating halfway.

Just another fun way to spruce up your vegetables. It works great as an appetizer, or a side dish. What I love about this is that you can really personalize the breadcrumb mixture, or the wet mixture. You can take it an asian route and add some soy sauce, and a little honey. An endless stream of possibilities!
