MAKE THE AIOLI:- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut one-third of the garlic head's top. Pour olive oil, salt, and pepper over the bottom of foil. To close the packet, reattach the garlic head's top and crumple the foil.

Dip each asparagus spear in the egg mixture and then in the breadcrumbs, pressing them to the asparagus.
Step 5
Put asparagus on the baking sheet. Repeat breading the remaining asparagus, spacing them 1 inch apart on the baking pan.
