How to make this Side Dish:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). If your air fryer requires preheating, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
Prepare the vegetables: The first step is to wash and slice the fingerling potatoes. As for the Asparagus, trim asparagus stalks about 2-3 inches from the bottom.
Season: In a large bowl, toss the halved fingerling potatoes and the asparagus with paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and olive oil. Make sure each piece is well-coated. If is your preference season the potatoes and asparagus separately.
