Ingredients
Asparagus: The main ingredient, offering a naturally crisp texture and a mild flavor perfect for air frying. It's also rich in vitamins and nutrients.
Cooking Oil Spray: Helps the seasonings stick to the asparagus and ensures it crisps up without being greasy. Olive oil, avocado oil, or any neutral oil works well.
Garlic Powder: Adds a savory, slightly pungent flavor that evenly coats the asparagus and doesn’t burn like fresh garlic might.
Parmesan Cheese: Provides a nutty, salty flavor and melts into a golden, crispy topping during the final minutes of air frying.
