Toss the asparagus in olive oil and seasonings. Then, place in air fryer basket.
1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Depending on the thickness of your asparagus, cooking time will vary. For thin: 5-7 minutes at 370°F. Thick: 7-10 minutes at 370°F.
Asparagus is done when the edges are crispy and slightly browned.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the asparagus.
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Serve with lemon wedges.

To trim asparagus, grab a stalk with one hand at each end. Gently bend the asparagus spear, and the woody end should naturally snap off.
Feel free to change up the seasonings to suit your personal tastes.
Cook time varies based on thickness, so check on the asparagus often to prevent burning.

Storage: Store air fryer asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
