Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed
  • - 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • - 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • - 2 cloves garlic minced
  • - 1 teaspoon salt
  • - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • - Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Add the trimmed asparagus to the bowl and toss until the asparagus is evenly coated with the balsamic mixture.
  • Place the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches if your air fryer is small.
  • Air fry the asparagus for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to guarantee even cooking. The asparagus should be tender and slightly crispy.
  • Once cooked, remove the asparagus from the air fryer and transfer it to a serving dish. Drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar if desired and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • For best results, choose fresh, firm asparagus stalks that are bright green in color. Avoid overcooking the asparagus, as this can lead to a mushy texture.
  • Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs or spices for an extra kick of flavor. Enjoy your Air Fryer Asparagus Balsamic as a nutritious and tasty side dish!
