Ingredients
  

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

1/2 cup grated Asiago cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crispiness)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and in a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Asiago cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

      Take each asparagus spear, dip it in the flour, ensuring it's well coated. Shake off any excess.

        Next, dip the floured spear into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

          Finally, roll the spear in the breadcrumb and Asiago mixture until fully coated. Place the coated spear on the prepared baking sheet.

            Repeat this process for all asparagus spears, making sure they are evenly spaced on the baking sheet.

              Lightly spray the coated asparagus with olive oil to enhance crispiness during baking.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Check around the 15-minute mark to prevent burning.

                  Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
