Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for serving)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Asparagus

1. Start by washing the asparagus thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
2. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus. You can do this by snapping off the ends; they will naturally break where the tender part meets the tough part.

Step 2: Season the Asparagus

3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, ensuring that each spear is well-coated.
4. Add garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Preheating helps achieve a nice crispiness.

Step 4: Air Fry the Asparagus
