Air Fryer Asparagus
It is no secret that we love asparagus here on Fit Foodie Finds. We have roasted asparagus, bacon wrapped asparagus, grilled asparagus and more! The newest addition to our asparagus catalog is air fryer asparagus. It is crisp, flavorful, and so easy to make.
Featured Ingredients
The ingredient list for this air fryer asparagus recipe is very short! You free up space on the stove top and your oven by using your air fryer. It is the perfect side dish to so many meals. Asparagus: the star of the show is obviously asparagus for this recipe. We highly recommend using thicker asparagus spears for this recipe. We found that thinner asparagus spears would burn easily and cook inconsistently. Lemon juice: a little lemon juice brightens up the asparagus. It’s so delicious. Olive oil: to cook anything in the air fryer you need a little bit of oil. We chose olive oil because we love the flavor. Feel free to use whatever oil you would like. Salt & pepper: we kept things simple for the seasoning for this asparagus recipe. A little salt and pepper did the trick.
How to Make Air Fryer Asparagus
The key to making air fryer asparagus is to make sure you don’t overcook the asparagus. Nobody likes burnt asparagus.
To do this, you can either use a sharp knife, pair of scissors, or…just snap them off with your fingers (learned this one from my mom!). Any of these methods work.
Please Note: We cooked our asparagus so it still had some crunch, but not crisped like a dehydrated vegetable (sometimes that can happen when cooking asparagus in the air fryer).
