- 1 egg

Instructions
Prep the Asparagus:
- Trim the tough ends off the asparagus and cut the spears into 4-5 inch pieces.
Set Up Dipping Stations:
- In a shallow dish, whisk the egg. In another shallow dish, mix the flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Coat the Asparagus:
- Dip each asparagus piece into the egg, then coat it with the flour mixture.
Prepare Air Fryer:
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer without overcrowding.
Cook:
- Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
Serve:
- Once golden and crispy, remove the asparagus fries from the air fryer. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes

- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
