Air Fryer Asparagus (From Frozen)

If you're looking for a quick and nutritious side dish, frozen asparagus cooked in an air fryer is an excellent choice. Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F). While it's heating up, take your frozen asparagus and toss it lightly with a drizzle of olive oil, along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. This simple seasoning enhances the natural flavours without overwhelming them.

Once your air fryer is ready, place the asparagus in a single layer in the basket. Cook for around 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The result? Tender yet crisp spears with a beautiful char that retains their vibrant green colour. Serve them simply with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or elevate the dish further with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan for added richness. This delightful side is a fantastic way to enjoy your greens without the fuss of traditional cooking methods!
