Air-Fried Asparagus and Cherry Tomatoes with Balsamic Drizzle
  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Pour the balsamic vinegar into a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high until the vinegar is reduced by half, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Combine the asparagus, cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook in batches.

  4. 4

    Air-fry until the asparagus is lightly browned and the tomatoes start to burst, about 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Transfer the vegetables to a serving platter and drizzle with the reduced balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve warm.
