Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus ends trimmed
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Cut off the ends of the asparagus about an inch up from the bottom.
Place them up in one layer inside your air fryer. Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus. Then, season them with salt, black pepper and parmesan.
Turn the air fryer to 400F degrees, and set for 7 minutes. Once the time is up, remove the basket, top with more Parmesan cheese and serve the asparagus with grilled chicken. Enjoy!

Notes

Do not skip trimming the asparagus. The woody ends are not pleasant to eat.
When buying asparagus, make sure they are firm and the tips are tight.
To store: Cooked asparagus will last for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
To reheat: You can reheat the asparagus in the air fryer until warm.
To freeze: You can freeze cooked asparagus for up to 3 months in an airtight freezer-safe bag.
