Best Crispy Asparagus Straws Recipes

PHYLLO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus.
• Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve 1 stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.
• Take 1 sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with some melted butter. Sprinkle with some Parmesan.
• Place 2 to 3 asparagus spears on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style.
• Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up.
• Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

CRISPY ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Set the oven at 450°F.
• With a vegetable peeler, peel tough ends of the asparagus.
• In a shallow dish, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice.
• Roll the asparagus spears in the mixture to coat them.
• Spread the panko in a plate and roll the spears until they are well coated.
• Transfer them to a cake rack and let them dry for 30 minutes.
• On a rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle the oil and line up the asparagus so they're not touching.
• Cook the spears, turning often, for 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• Remove them from oven, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and serve at once.

PROSCIUTTO ASPARAGUS SPIRALS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°F. Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on each pastry sheet. Top each with 4 slices prosciutto. Cut each into 15 strips crosswise, making 30 in all.
• Tightly wrap 1 pastry strip around each asparagus spear, prosciutto-side in. Place the pastries seam-side down onto 2 baking sheets.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
• TIPS
• • Don't try to manipulate Puff Pastry that's not completely thawed; unfolding it while it's still frozen could tear the sheet.
• • When cutting Puff Pastry, the sharper the knife or pastry cutter, the better. A dull edge can cement layers together and prevent pastry from rising.

CRISPY PARMESAN ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Clean and break off tough ends of asparagus.
• Roll asparagus in olive oil, coating each one.
• Place asparagus on cookie sheet.
• Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, until tender and crisp.
• Take out and sprinkle parmesan cheese over them.
• Return to oven for 5 minutes.
