- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the asparagus and toss again.
- Place the asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer if possible. Do not overcrowd the basket.
