Ingredients
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), 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)
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. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat.
Add the asparagus to the air fryer basket with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the asparagus is tender and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Remove the potatoes and asparagus from the air fryer and transfer to a serving dish.
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top while still hot.
Serve immediately.
