How to Cook Asparagus

4. Asparagus Parmesan Chips

Asparagus parmesan chips are a healthy and tasty snacking option. This recipe makes between 12 to 16 chips from four or five asparagus stocks. First, remove the woody section from the asparagus stalks. Use a blender or food processor to shred the asparagus, then transfer the asparagus to a paper towel. Use the paper towel to squeeze out excess moisture. The chips are crispier if most of the moisture is removed.

Combine the asparagus, 1-cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and a dash of freshly ground black pepper in a large bowl. Scoop the mixture onto a parchment-covered baking sheet in 1-tablespoon dollops. Leave an inch of space between each dollop. Bake the chips at 375-degrees for approximately 10 minutes. The chips are finished when the cheese bubbles and the edges are golden-brown.
