Preheat the Oven: Turn on your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Seasoning: Mix together olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper, 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs on a baking sheet.
⅓ cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 3 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs, 4 tablespoons parmesan, 2 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt
Coat the Asparagus: Place the asparagus on the baking tray using thongs. Toss the asparagus with the seasonings mixture until fully coated (just use your hands!). Add tomatoes.
1 pound asparagus, 7 ounce cherry tomatoes
Add More Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese on top.
Spray with Olive Oil: Give the asparagus a light spray of olive oil. It helps it cook just right!
Bake It: Air fry until the asparagus is crisp-tender and starting to brown in spots. Cook time will depend on your oven and thickness of asparagus. Roasting asparagus with tomatoes will take about 20-25 minutes. When it's done, it will have browned and the asparagus will be tender and delicious!
