Instructions
- Wash under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and trim the tough woody ends of the asparagus spears. Place them onto a baking sheet in a single layer and brush them all over with olive oil.
- Season them with a mixture of garlic powder and salt. Then sprinkle parmesan cheese and the freshly ground pepper on top!
- Spray your air fryer basket with no-stick spray or brush on some olive oil. Line up the seasoned asparagus in a single layer inside your air fryer. If yours is small like mine, you may have to cook them in 2 batches.
- Air fry asparagus at 380° F (190° C) for about 7 minutes or until tender and golden brown. No need to preheat the air fryer in order to prepare crispy asparagus!
- Before serving, squeeze lemon juice on top and serve with lemon wedges and more Parmesan cheese (and red pepper flakes, if desired).

Notes
- Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or freezer plastic bag for about 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave (about 60 seconds) or in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F (3-5 minutes) or just until hot.
- You may freeze them for about 1 month and thaw them in the fridge overnight. But be aware they won’t be as firm and have some crunch as when they were cooked.
- How to choose asparagus
- When buying fresh asparagus, make sure to look for the following:
- How to trim asparagus
- TEXTURE/APPEARANCE: Crisp asparagus must be plump and firm, and tips should be tightly closed.
- COLOR: They should be green, purple, or white, depending on the variety. Just make sure the color is not faded!
- ODOR: Make sure they don’t smell spoiled!
- Before cooking these easy air fryer asparagus, rinse them under cool running water and then pat them dry well with a paper towel.
- If you prefer, peel the spears with a vegetable peeler, although it is not necessary!
- Snap off the bottom of one stalk! It will naturally break just about where the woody part ends and the tender part begins. Next, line up that spear close to a pile of other spears, and cut off the tough, woody ends using a sharp chef’s knife.
- Toss the ends and season your spears!
