Longhorn Steakhouse Parmesan Encrusted Asparagus

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 1 pound fresh asparagus
  • 1 1/2 cup 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 2 cups 2 cups buttermilk
  • oil for frying
  • Parmesan for grating

Preparation

Step 1

Coat asparagus first in flour, then dip into buttermilk, and then dredge in the Parmesan coating again. Place the coated asparagus on a wire rack. Repeat with all asparagus. Allow asparagus to rest about 5 minutes before frying.

Add enough oil to your cooking vessel to cover the bottom 2 inches. I like to use vegetable oil, corn oil, or even cotton seed oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees. Drop a few pieces in at a time, and fry until golden brown. Remove golden asparagus and allow to drain on a wire rack.

You may want to serve this with some Ranch dipping sauce.
