Air Fryer Frozen Asparagus
Delightfully fresh tasting and tender-crisp air fryer frozen asparagus is surprisingly easy and flavorful.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 8 ounces frozen asparagus spears
- olive oil cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
- fresh lemon optional for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the asparagus on a plate or small tray and spray with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt, garlic, and pepper. Toss gently to coat without breaking the spears.
- Place the seasoned asparagus in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 5 minutes. Gently toss and air fry the asparagus for about 5 more minutes.
- Open the air fryer and sprinkle the asparagus with Parmesan. Air fry an additional minute or two, just until the cheese melts a bit. Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
