Keto Parmesan Asparagus Fries | Crunchy Keto Snack Recipe
Even picky eaters can’t resist crispy asparagus fries!
Need a healthy alternative to those crispy french fries? In addition to these delicious keto jicama fries, you’ve got to try making parmesan asparagus fries! They are crisped to perfection right from the oven in under 15 minutes, and are sure to hit the spot. This keto side dish will be loved by all!
What creates the “breading” for this recipe?
Pork rinds and parmesan! By using crushed up pork rinds (you can use a food processor for this) or premade pork rind crumbs, you’ll get that crunchy texture you’ve been missing. After trying out a couple of different methods, I also realized coating the asparagus in an egg wash really makes the parmesan mixture stick.

Hip Tips for making asparagus fries:
- For a different flavor, try out flavored pork rinds or flavored pork rind crumbs.
- For thicker breading, repeat steps five and six to get a double coat.
- For crispier breading, turn on the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to really give the fries a crunch.
- You can even use the air fryer for this recipe. Lay the stalks in a single layer at 400° for 7 minutes.
