Ingredients

  • A dozen ounces of asparagus, finely chopped after trimming
  • Half a cup of crunchy panko bread crumbs
  • A quarter cup of delicately shredded Parmesan cheese
  • A single portion of cooking spray

Step 1

Start by heating a pot of water with a pinch of salt until it reaches a gentle boil on medium-high heat. Cook the fresh asparagus in the bubbling water for about 5 minutes. Once ready, drain the asparagus in a colander and allow it to cool for approximately 5 minutes until it's easy to handle.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, mix the cooked asparagus with breadcrumbs and flavorful Parmesan cheese. Using your hands, combine the ingredients until they form a dough-like consistency. Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a tot before placing it on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture. Pop the tots into the freezer for about 30 minutes to set.

Step 3

While the tots chill, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Give the air fryer basket a light coating of nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the tots in the basket and spray the tops with a bit more cooking spray. Air fry the tots for 10 minutes, remembering to shake the basket halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize reusable silicone storage bags to keep your prepped asparagus fresh and ready to air fry at a moment's notice.
  2. 2. Maximize refrigerator space by storing your asparagus spears in a tall glass filled with water, just like fresh-cut flowers.
  3. 3. Get crafty and repurpose a mason jar as a stylish and convenient storage container for your seasoned asparagus bites.
