No oil? No nothing? Where are the bread crumbs final place?
proof read???????
The nutrition experts with whom we consult generally say that a whole-food plant-based diet with total calories not exceeding 15% from fat is optimal for health, so oil is not used in any of our recipes.
The breadcrumbs are used in step 3, mixed with other ingredients, and then that mixture is added to the asparagus in Step 4.
Any suggestions on how to do this without bread?
We’ve made this recipe numerous times and LOVE it. Don’t forget to drizzle the lemon juice on top because it really adds to it.
