This air fryer asparagus recipe is a quick, easy, and healthy side dish. In under 10 minutes, the spears become tender, juicy, and perfectly crisp.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
- null null Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
- null null Sea salt (to taste)
- null null Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- null null Lemon wedges (for squeezing)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
- In a large bowl, drizzle the asparagus with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
- Place the asparagus spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches if necessary.
- Roast asparagus in the air fryer for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway, until the spears are tender and the tops are crisp. The exact timing will depend on your air fryer.
- Transfer to a platter, squeeze with lemon juice, season to taste, and serve.
Notes
- Work in batches if necessary. The key to crispy air fryer asparagus is not crowding the air fryer basket.
- The exact timing will vary. Different air fryers can vary considerably, and so can different bunches of asparagus! If you have very thin spears, start checking them early, after just 4 minutes in the air fryer.
