Air Fryer Asparagus Recipe - Spargel für Luftfritteuse

Lydia's air fryer asparagus recipe will have you craving Spring's bounty of this wonderful veggie. Germany has a love affair with white asparagus, but green asparagus is yummy as well.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (454 grams) asparagus
• 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
• ¼ cup (30 grams) bacon bits
• ¼ cup (25 grams) Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons (8 grams) garlic salt
• 2 teaspoons (4 grams) paprika

Instructions:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F on roast.
2. Wash asparagus. Cut or snap the bottom ends off. Usually, about 1 to 2 inches should snap off.
3. Lay in a single layer on an air fryer baking tray and brush with olive oil.
4. Sprinkle with garlic salt and paprika, then with parmesan cheese and bacon.
5. Roast on the middle rack of the fryer for 5 to 7 minutes.
6. Serve right away and enjoy this lecker veggie!

Notes/Hints:

• Use whatever spices and seasonings you'd like for your asparagus. It's all up to preference!
• Serve alongside the famous air fryer schnitzel for an all-around easy German meal.
• Typically, plain salt is used, but I like the extra flavor of garlic salt.
• I know Parmesan cheese isn't German, but it really fits well here. Omit if you'd like.
• If you have a different air fryer, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for adjusting temperatures and times.
