Asparagus are one of those side dishes that never really excite me. I have not too seen too much diversity is how they can be prepared to make them more of a statement side dish in the past. But this Baked Asparagus Fries recipe is quite an exciting alternative to regular ole steamed or grilled asparagus. I can hear the crunch just by looking at these photos.
