Ingredients

1 pound fresh asparagus ends trimmed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees or use the air fryer setting on your oven, Brush the asparagus with vegetable oil and sprinkle with the lemon pepper and salt.
Cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully remove the asparagus and sprinkle with Parmesan. Cook for another 2 minutes or until the Parmesan is melted. For best results, serve promptly.

Notes

Trim the tough ends off the bottom of the asparagus. I usually trim about 1 1/2 inches off the bottom of each stalk.
Work in batches with the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer.
All air fryers vary in cooking time and intensity, so periodically open the basket and check on it.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at a reduced power or in the air fryer for a couple of minutes.
