Quick Facts
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
Total Time: 18–20 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into shorter pieces
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, halved or quartered
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Pat the asparagus and mushrooms dry so they brown better in the air fryer.
2. Toss the vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, and lemon pepper seasoning.
3. Place in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Cook at 390°F for 8–10 minutes.
4. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
5. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve right away while the asparagus tips are still crisp.
Notes / Tips
Do not overcrowd the basket. Space helps the mushrooms brown instead of steam.
Cut thick asparagus pieces in half lengthwise if needed so everything cooks evenly.
Add parmesan after cooking or during the last minute so it does not burn.
Variations
Add red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving for a brighter flavor.
Use grated pecorino instead of parmesan for a stronger savory finish.
