Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: favorite seasoning garlic powder, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, etc.

Instructions
 

Prep the Asparagus:

  • Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Pat dry with a clean towel.

Season:

  • In a bowl or directly in the air fryer basket, toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional seasoning.

Air Fry:

  • Place asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the stalks. Shake the basket halfway through cooking for even crisping.

Serve:

  • Enjoy hot, optionally topped with Parmesan, lemon juice, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Notes

  • Storage Tip: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to revive the texture.
  • Nutritional Information is an estimate only and will vary according to specific ingredients and amounts used.
