Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Pat the spears dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each asparagus spear first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure itβs fully coated. Finally, roll it in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust.
Place the breaded asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each spear.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the asparagus to help create a golden crust during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the asparagus is tender.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top, and enjoy!
