Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Asparagus
The days of boiling vegetables is way behind me, Roasting gives so much more flavor and crunch. The air fryer lets you cook vegetables just like you would roasting but with less time and mess so huge fan over here! Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Asparagus has a nice kick of lemon with your desired amount of salt and pepper (I like mine salty) and the Parmesan cheese just adds that little extra special something when it finishes cooking but is actually completely optional. They taste great with just a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and lemon juice! So good that even the kids eat their whole serving.

I’m wondering if you think this same recipe would work with green beans?
Yes, it is on my to do list to try green beans in the air fryer. It should work great and let me know how it turns out if you try it!
This looks delicious! I’ve been on the fence about buying an air fryer but this helps me make up my mind!
I had it for about a year before I actually started using it and I love it now.
Love using the air fryer! Parmesan is always a fun and tasty way to get the kids to eat their veggies!

Yes, my kids love Parmesan too… although normally they spend more time picking the cheese off the veggies but whatever.
I absolutely love asparagus! And my sister just got an air fryer so I’ll have to tell her about this recipe.
Yes, they taste better when someone else does the cooking.
I would not have ever thought to put asparagus in an air fryer! It sounds so great!
It is the only way we have been cooking it lately! SO easy.
