INGREDIENTS IN AIR FRYER ASPARAGUS

Asparagus – Choose medium-thick stalks (add more time for thicker ones).

Oil (spray oil): A little oil keeps the asparagus from sticking to the air fryer and allows the seasoning to stick to it.

Salt and pepper – Asparagus rarely needs more than this for seasoning.

Lemon Juice – Optional, but gives a nice bright flavor.

Okay, I guess you probably do not have asparagus, but I bet you have the salt and pepper. Oh, yes, and of course, you have the oil already in your pantry!

TIPS FOR MAKING ASPARAGUS IN THE AIR FRYER

• Thinner asparagus stalks will cook for about 5 minutes.
• Thicker asparagus stalks will cook closer to 7-8 minutes.
• I suggest starting with the shorter time and then checking the asparagus. If they are done to your liking, take them out of the air fryer. If they are not done, cook 1-2 minutes longer and check again.
