Crispy Parmesan Asparagus (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Main ingredients
01 -
1 bunch green asparagus (about 250g or 1/2 pound)
02 -
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
→ For the marinade
03 -
2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
04 -
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
05 -
Sea salt, to taste
06 -
Freshly ground black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Rinse the green asparagus under cold water and pat dry. Snap or cut off the woody ends - they'll naturally break at the right spot if you bend them.
02 -
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, sweet paprika, grated Parmesan, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper until you have a paste-like consistency.
03 -
Toss the asparagus in the Parmesan mixture until well coated, then arrange them in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Drizzle any remaining mixture over the spears.
04 -
Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for about 12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the Parmesan is golden and slightly crispy.
# Notes:
01 -
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your asparagus spears - thinner spears might need only 8-10 minutes.
