Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Approximately 5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a microwave-safe bowl, reduce the balsamic vinegar. Microwave on high until it has reduced by half, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

03

Step
2 mins

In a large bowl, gently toss the asparagus and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

04

Step
1 mins

Arrange the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding.

05

Step
10 mins

Air fry for approximately 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is lightly browned and tender-crisp, and the tomatoes are beginning to soften and burst.

06

Step
1 mins

Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the reduced balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a deeper balsamic flavor, simmer the vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat instead of microwaving. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetables before air frying for a touch of heat.
If you don't have feta cheese, try goat cheese or shaved Parmesan for a different twist.
This dish is best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven before serving.
