Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry the asparagus, and trim ½ to 1 inch off the end of the stalk.
  • Preheat your Air Fryer to 400°F.
  • Place the asparagus in a single layer in your Air Fryer basket.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle your seasonings, garlic and Parmesan.
  • Cook asparagus for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese browns up nicely.

Notes

Make sure you chop off the tough, woody ends of asparagus before you air fry them. 
If you’re not lining the Air Fryer basket with parchment paper, you may want to grease the basket before you place asparagus inside.
To check if the asparagus is done cooking, press onto it. It should be crisp on the outside and still nice and tender. 
Just like most other air fried foods, this garlic Parmesan asparagus is best enjoyed right away- the vegetable can lose its crunchy texture if you store it for later.
