Ingredients
  • 1 lb Asparagus Spears
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This helps ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.

Season the Asparagus

In a bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the asparagus is evenly coated.

Add Parmesan

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus, ensuring each spear gets a generous coating. This will create the crispy crust.

Air Fry

Place the asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the Parmesan is golden brown.

Serve

Carefully remove the asparagus from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish with your favorite meal.
