Ingredients

Asparagus

1 lb asparagus, woody ends trimmed

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Finish

2 tbsp grated Parmesan

1 tbsp lemon juice

Lemon zest

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Snap or trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
2
Arrange in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes until tender-crisp with charred tips.
3
Thin spears take 6 minutes; thick spears need the full 8.
4
Immediately top with Parmesan, lemon juice, and zest.

💡

Tip: Snap each spear near the bottom — it naturally breaks where the tough part ends. Don't overcook; asparagus should have a slight snap, not be mushy. Thick spears roast better than pencil-thin ones.
