Asparagus are underrated and I think that's because many don't know how to season them well. Garlic, lemon and parmesan cheese are the perfect flavor combination for this veggie. After you try this recipe, you just might be buying asparagus weekly!

It's no secret that I love air fryer recipes. Everything just comes out so much crispier in an air fryer. Plus, I don't have to turn on the oven. A few of my favorite air fryer recipes are Air Fryer Eggplant Parmesan Fries, Air Fryer Naan Pizza and Healthy Air Fryer Chicken Breast (No Breading).

If you are in the market for an air fryer, THIS is the air fryer I own and recommend. You can purchase it from Amazon.

4 steps how to make air fryer asparagus

Ingredients in this recipe

  • trimmed thin asparagus
  • avocado oil
  • garlic powder
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • grated parmesan cheese
  • lemon

An important note about the asparagus...

Asparagus can range in thickness. Please note that I used thin asparagus. Use the photos above as a reference. I purchased my asparagus from Trader Joe's. If you use very thick asparagus for this recipe, they will not cook in the same amount of time. They will take longer. You know the asparagus are cooked through when they are tender, but not mushy.

How do you trim asparagus?

  1. Of course, make sure you wash the asparagus first.
  2. Then, pat them dry with a towel.
  3. Line the asparagus up on a cutting board.
  4. Next, trim the asparagus. Cut where the stalks turn from white to green. The white stem is woody and hard. You can also bend the asparagus gently until it breaks. It will naturally snap right before the white woody stem. Throw away the white stems.
