Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup vegan parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes optional
Instructions
- Rinse the asparagus very well. The tips can collect grit and dirt. I like to fill up a large cup or mason jar with water, and store the asparagus upside down (tips in the water) for a few hours, to let the dirt rinse out. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the asparagus, salt, olive oil and garlic powder and mix well.1 pound asparagus, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ⅛ teaspoon salt
- Let your air fryer pre-heat to 400 degrees. Then add the asparagus to the air fryer. Sprinkle the top with the vegan parmesan and air fry for 7 minutes.⅓ cup vegan parmesan cheese
- Add in the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered.¼ cup cherry tomatoes
- Plate up and enjoy! These cool quickly, so eat as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
Notes
This will last a week in the fridge in an airtight container. Asparagus can also be frozen after cooked for up to three months.
