    I love asparagus!!

    But... I don't believe in "imitation" food. These aren't fried so "fries" isn't an appropriate name.

    I will probably try these as a Thanksgiving side dish. I love asparagus, but don't always know how to cook with it.

    Thanks for the recipe.

    So it's tempura...why not just make tempura?

    :laugh: It's not tempura. Tempura is made with flour and cold water then deep fried. Panko is Japanese bread crumbs.

    Edited to say I love the sound of this. Especially the parmesan with the asparagus. Must try it. Thanks!
