01 Step
Recipe View
Pour 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 Step
Recipe View
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and eggs until well combined. (Approximately 1 minute)
03 Step
Recipe View
In a separate shallow dish, stir together baking mix, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed. (Approximately 1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View
Dip each asparagus spear into the milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Immediately 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 Step
Recipe View
Carefully 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 Step
Recipe View
Remove 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 Step
Recipe View
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce.
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.

Apr 27, 2025I had trouble getting the coating to stick at first, but the double dipping trick really worked. Thanks for the tip!
