Equipment

Ingredients

  • 225 g /8oz Asparagus
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil Spray
  • 2 tsp Salted Butter
  • 28 g /1 oz Grated Cheese

Instructions

  • Chop the bottoms off the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place in the air fryer basket making sure that they fit and then spray with extra virgin olive oil. Air fry for 8 minutes at 180c/360f.
  • Remove the asparagus and add a layer of foil in the air fryer basket. Add the asparagus back in and add small bits of butter and grated cheese.
  • Air fry for a further 3 minutes at 200c/400f before serving.

Notes

Butter. You really don’t need a lot of butter, just a small quantity that you can cut into super tiny pieces and that will melt over the asparagus.
Size. Note that sometimes the asparagus can be too long and either needs a little extra removing from the ends or slicing in half to fit. Go with what works best with your air fryer.
