Rinse the asparagus and break off the ends. Bend the asparagus and where it breaks is where the tough end stops and the tender asparagus starts.
Lightly oil the asparagus spears and season with salt and pepper
Place ½ cup of water in the inner pot and put the basket or crisping plate into the Foodi. Add the asparagus to the basket or plate.
Close the lid and move the slider to the center. Select the Steam & Crisp function. Set the temperature to 450℉/230℃ and the time for 7 minutes. When using Steam & Crisp, I recommend setting your time higher than you need to so you have some wiggle room if the food isn't quite cooked to your liking in the time a recipe states.
Keep it simple with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Grate some fresh Parmesan cheese on top for an added layer of flavor
