Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound asparagus (trimmed (See Note))
  • 2 teaspons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Juice of small lemon wedge (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Place the trimmed asparagus spears in a baking dish that’s long enough to fit them. Using tongs, toss the asparagus with the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the salt, pepper and garlic powder over the asparagus. Toss again to coat.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If they don’t all fit, cook in two batches.
  • Cook until the spears are tender when pierced with a fork and the tips are browned and a little crispy. Cooking time should be 5 to 8 minutes for small to medium spears. Add additional time for thicker spears.
  • Place the cooked asparagus on a serving plate and squeeze the lemon juice over top. Serve.
