Air Fryer Asparagus

Perfectly roasted asparagus in 7 minutes. Tender-crisp with charred tips and bright green color. The simplest, most elegant vegetable side dish.

• 1 bunch asparagus trimmed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• Salt and pepper
• Lemon zest
• Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Snap off woody ends of asparagus (they break naturally at the right spot).
2. Toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
3. Arrange in single layer in basket.
4. Cook at 400°F for 5-7 minutes (thin spears: 5 min, thick: 7 min).
5. Tips should be slightly charred.
6. Finish with lemon zest and parmesan.
7. Serve immediately — asparagus gets mushy if it sits.
