Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) if your model calls for preheating.
- Toss asparagus with the oil and salt. Place the spears in a single layer in the basket.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, turning once. Add Parmesan and cook 1–2 minutes more, until the stalks are fork-tender with a little resistance.
- Transfer to a plate and drizzle with lemon juice.
Notes
For pencil-thin spears, check after 3 minutes. If you need two batches, allow extra time.
