Vegetables
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Trimmed and ends removed
  • 4 medium Carrots Cut into even-sized pieces
Enhancers
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For roasting
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice Optional for serving
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese Optional for serving
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut the carrots into even-sized pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the asparagus and carrots with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Spread the coated vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  3. Check for tender and lightly caramelized veggies, golden-brown in color.
Serving

Notes

Cut the carrots similar in size to the asparagus for even cooking. Monitor the last few minutes of cooking to avoid burning. Allow to cool briefly before serving for flavor melding.
