Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus (14 to 16 oz)
  • 1.5 teaspoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
  • fresh cracked pepper
  • juice of half a lemon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 450F or 240C (or the highest heat yours goes).
  • Wash and trim the asparagus. (If you're new to cooking with asparagus, see my tips above!)
  • Season the asparagus with salt, pepper, garlic, lemon juice, and oil. Place the asparagus in the preheated air fryer in a single row.
  • Cook for 6 to 10 minutes. 6 minutes for thin stalk, 8 minutes for medium stalks, and 10 minutes for thick stalks. (Open the air fryer around the 4-minute mark and use tongs to roll the stalks and test the firmness.) Garnish with lemon wedges and vegan parmesan. Serve right away!

Notes

  • If you are using a smaller air fryer, you might need to cook the asparagus in 2 batches or you can place another layer, perpendicular to the first, on top.
