Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus Spears
- 1 tablespoon Avocado Oil or any high-smoke-point oil
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to heat up for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears, either by snapping or cutting them.
- Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the trimmed asparagus spears in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Oil the Asparagus: Brush the asparagus spears with avocado oil to coat them lightly.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the oiled asparagus. Toss the spears to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Cook: Air fry the asparagus for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even cooking. The asparagus should become tender-crisp and slightly charred.
- Serve: Remove the asparagus from the air fryer. Garnish with parmesan cheese and serve immediately, while they are still hot and fresh.
Notes
Whether using fresh or frozen, ensure the asparagus is dry to prevent steam from forming, which can make it soggy instead of crispy. Cook frizen asparagus for a further 4 -5 minutes
