Fries with Almond and Parmesan Crusted Asparagus
The wonderful part about trying a new item every other week is that I can really find out unusual ways to use foods. One of my favorite discoveries was the use of almonds as a breading in these crunchy Almond Tofu Nuggets. Simply crush almonds into a coarse crumb in a food processor, then combine with spices (such as smoked paprika, salt, and pepper!) Then you’ll just use them in place of bread crumbs when breading foods for a low carb yet really tasty alternative.
Fries are one of the ingredients.
1 pound almonds
12 cup parmesan cheese, grated
12 teaspoon salt 12 teaspoon paprika
14 teaspoon black pepper
12 cup all-purpose flour
2 large whisked eggs
1 pound asparagus
Dip in Yogurt
14 cup plain Greek yogurt
14 cup softened cream cheese
1 minced garlic clove
1 tablespoon chopped chives
12 teaspoon lemon
a pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Pulse almonds in a food processor until they form coarse crumbs. Combine the grated parmesan, salt, paprika, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
Set up your workspace by separating the flour, eggs, and almond mixture into three big shallow dishes.
Remove the rough bottoms of the asparagus. Roll each in flour, then in the eggs, and last in the almond crumbs.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until asparagus is tender when poked with a fork.
While the asparagus is cooking, mix all of the yogurt dip ingredients.
