Ingredients
- 1 large bundle (about ¾ pound) of asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Juice and zest of a lemon
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Wash and dry your asparagus. Trim away the tough ends, and transfer to a work surface. Drizzle the asparagus with oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss until all of the asparagus is evenly coated in oil and spices.
- Place the stalks in the air fryer and cook for 3 to 4 minutes for pencil-thin asparagus and 5 to 6 minutes for thick, thumb-sized asparagus. Shake the basket about halfway through the cook time.
- If desired, top with the zest and juice of a lemon juice, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese before serving. Serve right away, and enjoy!
