Garlic Air Fried Asparagus

Air Fried Asparagus with Garlic Parmesan
Air fryer I used is the Ninja Foodi

When shopping for asparagus there are two kinds I prefer the thick ones over the thinner stalks. Look for tight compact tips, make sure the bottom of the asparagus is fresh and moist.

How to wash the asparagus
First, take a bundle of asparagus and clean it under water. Pat it dry and place them on a cutting board. This is the secret: grab the ends of one of the asparagus between your thumb and forefinger and bend it until it breaks. The break is where there is less moisture so it breaks off easily leaving you the good part of the asparagus.
