Asparagus Wonton Fries – This post is sponsored by REVOL. All opinions expressed here are my own.
Do you think this recipe qualifies as a vegan version of “Pigs in a blanket”? I would like to think so!!
I haven’t been a huge fan of asparagus until recently. A while back, I made my Veggie pita sandwich and that is when I got hooked on asparagus. Recently, I also used it in my Polenta recipe and it has now found its way into my diet.
The wontons act as a blanket in this recipe. It is a nice, snugly, comforting blanket on a rainy day. I bet the asparagus appreciate that comforting feeling.
🙂
Before wrapping the asparagus with the wontons, I spread a thin layer of my Mango Sriracha Spread. This added a delicious sweet and spicy flavor to the fries. It makes them the perfect vegan snack.
For this recipe, I used Revol’s Basalt rectangular appetizer plate. Not only is it soooo pretty to look at, it is also very sturdy and holds the heat. So, these asparagus didn’t get cold and limp while awaiting to be devoured.
I served dipping sauces with these asparagus wonton fries in these white round ramekin. They are so perfect for dipping. Since they are oven friendly, I just heated my avocado wasabi sauce in them. A quick 30 seconds in the oven was all they needed. I don’t know how I have lived without them until now. I am using them to warm up everything I can, including butter, coconut oil, peas, hummus etc.
Serve these fries with ketchup, hummus, avocado dressing or avocado wasabi spread.
I like serving asparagus with gnocchi too.
