Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

½ cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and place in a shallow baking dish.

  • Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.
  • Increase oven to broil. Broil just until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
