Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the asparagus. Pat them completely dry with paper towels to help them crisp up.
- In a medium bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil until lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the asparagus and toss gently until the spears are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place the coated asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The asparagus should be tender-crisp and the Parmesan should be golden brown.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- Ensure your asparagus is very dry before coating; moisture prevents crisping.
- For extra crispiness, avoid overlapping the asparagus in the basket.
- Serve with a side of lemon aioli or ranch dressing for dipping.
