Asparagus cooks quickly in the air fryer, making it an easy side dish to whip up at the last minute. It’s a healthy and crispy side that tastes great when paired with seafood or beef. Feel free to add additional Parmesan cheese to the asparagus once served. If you want to add a little something extra, serve with ranch dressing as a dipping sauce!
