Description
A simple and delicious recipe for crispy air fryer potatoes paired with tender asparagus, perfect for a quick and healthy side dish.
Ingredients
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
1 bunch asparagus (about 1/2 pound), trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.
After 10 minutes, add the asparagus pieces to the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the asparagus and potatoes, then toss gently to combine.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the potatoes and asparagus from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
Drizzle lemon juice over the vegetables and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using. Toss gently to combine and serve immediately.
