Air Fryer Asparagus
Air Fryer Asparagus is so incredibly delicious. A drizzle of oil, some yummy spices and parmesan, slightly crispy and cooked to perfection
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic spread mixture* see below for substitution
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400*F.
- Rinse asparagus and pat dry. Snap off ends. Place in a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle oil over the top and mix to coat thoroughly, making sure to get the ends so they don't burn!
- Add spices and again mix to coat thoroughly.
- Place in air fryer basket and cook for 4 minutes. Shake or turn asparagus then add parmesan cheese. Cook 3 more minutes for a total of 7 minutes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 400*F for 2-3 minutes.
- It is not recommended to freeze this dish
- I like to use as little oil as possible, however I have found when making this air fryer asparagus that the tops get a little burnt if they don't have oil on them. The easiest way to solve this problem is after tossing the asparagus spears in oil, rub the tops in the excess oil on the bottom of the bowl. This will ensure they cooke evenly
- I also like to rub the tops in any leftover spices at the bottom of the bowl for a little extra flavor.
