These fried asparagus sticks were a disappointment. The coating was soggy and the asparagus was mushy. I would not recommend this recipe.

I thought these were just okay. The coating was a bit bland and the asparagus was a little overcooked. I think I would prefer to roast or steam asparagus next time.

These were good, but I would recommend using a lighter coating. The coating I used was a bit too heavy and made the asparagus sticks a little greasy.

I love asparagus and these fried sticks were a great way to enjoy them. The coating was crispy and the asparagus was tender and juicy. I served them with a side of lemon wedges and they were perfect.

These fried asparagus sticks were a nice change from the usual roasted or steamed asparagus. The coating was flavorful and the asparagus was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.

Followed the recipe exactly and the fried asparagus sticks turned out great! I used fresh asparagus from my garden and the lemon-herb dipping sauce was the perfect complement. My family loved them!

Yum! The asparagus was cooked perfectly and the coating was crispy and flavorful. I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they added a nice crunch. Easy and tasty recipe!
