Ingredients
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are 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 bowl and toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the asparagus to the air fryer basket with the potatoes, spreading them out evenly. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Carefully remove the potatoes and asparagus from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the vegetables before serving.
