Categories     Bread     Fry     Asparagus     Boil

Yield makes 10 to 12 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 bunches medium asparagus spears, peeled at the base (about 22 spears)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.

These fritters are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love them, and they don't even realize they're eating asparagus.

I've tried several different asparagus fritter recipes, and this one is by far the best. The batter is perfectly seasoned and the fritters are always cooked to perfection.

I love that these fritters are baked, not fried. It makes them a healthier option, but they're still just as crispy and delicious.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I usually have some left over from my weekly CSA box, and these fritters are a delicious way to use them up.

These asparagus fritters were absolutely delicious! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with a dipping sauce made of sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice, and they were a
