"Breaded asparagus is fried in oil then served with a green chili mayonnaise dipping sauce. A big hit at any dinner party where I have served this." — K. Millar

Directions

Dampen asparagus lightly with water. Coat with flour; trying to avoid coating the tips.
Dip asparagus in beaten egg.
Roll and coat asparagus in a layer of breadcrumbs.
Place coated asparagus on a plate and refrigerate, allowing coating to stick, 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir mayonnaise, green chilies, and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl for dipping sauce.
Heat vegetable oil in a fry pan over medium heat.
Fry coated asparagus in the hot oil until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

These were great! Very simple to prepare and very tasty...I did not make the dipping sauce, but plan to next time. Hubby and the little guy loved these too. I did season my egg w/ garlic powder and seasoned salt and used seasoned breadcrumbs, which made these very flavorful. These cooked up in a flash and were gone just as quick. Oh, BTW, I got more than 12 out of this recipe...more like 25 or so (just a heads up)... Will be making these again! Thanks for sharing. :)

Excellent! But really how can you go wrong with breading and frying something? My asparagus was very young and thin so it cooked quickly and was delicious. I will do this again. Thanks!

We didn't think we liked asparagus, but now we know we do! I didn't have bread crumbs, so I had to toast whole wheat bread and crumble it up. It still turned out really well.
