Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
In a separate, dish add the panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning and paprika.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix. Dip each asparagus spear in the egg wash and then coat evenly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
Place the spears on a wire rack over a baking sheet and lightly drizzle with some olive oil (this will help them crisp up).
Bake until golden and crispy, 15 to 17 minutes.
