# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray or olive oil.

Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with water. In a third shallow bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Dredge each asparagus spear in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Arrange coated spears in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Use thick asparagus spears for optimal crispiness, and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to maintain even browning.
