Crispy Air Fryer Asparagus with Parmesan

Ingredients

Asparagus

1 pound, trimmed

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup, grated

Lemon wedges

for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
2. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the asparagus is evenly coated.
4. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even crispiness. The asparagus should be tender and slightly crispy.
6. Once cooked, remove the asparagus from the air fryer and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
