Asparagus Fries With Smoked Paprika Aoli Recipes

ASPARAGUS FRIES WITH GARLIC AIOLI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the flaxseed meal and water and with a spoon, stir until combined. Let it sit until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. In the meantime, combine the aioli ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• On a flat plate, combine the panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
• Dip each asparagus spear in the vegan egg mixture until thoroughly coated, then dip in the breadcrumbs, pressing to secure them to the asparagus. Transfer the asparagus to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining asparagus, spacing spears about 1 inch apart on baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes. To finish the fries, set the broiler to high and broil the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, turning once on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove asparagus fries from oven and serve immediately with the prepared garlic aioli.

ASPARAGUS FRIES

Steps:

• For the seasoning: Stir desired seasoning combination in a large bowl until well mixed.; set aside.
• For the asparagus fries: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 360 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Slowly pour in the lager and whisk until smooth. Dip half of the asparagus pieces into the batter, turning to coat completely and letting any excess drip off. Carefully add a few of the asparagus pieces at a time to the hot oil until all the battered pieces are added, then fry until golden brown on all sides and crisp-tender on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining asparagus pieces and batter, making sure to bring the oil back to 360 degrees F for the second batch.
• Toss the warm fries in the bowl with the seasoning combination and serve with the lemon aioli.
