Combine the sauce from ghee butter to garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir-well.
On a large plate, brush the frozen asparagus, using a pastry brush, with the sauce on all sides.
Add the asparagus to the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer. Air fry for 6 minutes.
Remove the basket and transfer the spears onto a serving plate. Sprinkle lemon juice and zest. Garnish with parmesan cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
If you prefer asparagus with a more roasted brown color, add 2 extra minutes to the cooking time.
The texture of the frozen asparagus cooked in an air fryer will be softer and tender compared to cooking fresh.
The flavor of this dish is really excellent as the butter adds good fat and rich flavor to the lean asparagus.
Ingredient substitutions:
While butter works really well with asparagus, you can also use olive oil for a lighter taste.
If using fresh asparagus, air fryer at 400°F (204°C) for 7 minutes.
