Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
- Wash the asparagus and trim the bottom edges off the asparagus (approximately 1 inch).
- Brush the olive oil onto the asparagus and season with the salt and pepper.
- Place the asparagus in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400 degrees F (do not preheat the air fryer as it may cause the asparagus to be over cooked).
- Cook for 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of your asparagus. Start with 3 minutes and then cook for an additional 1 minute at a time until the asparagus is the tenderness that you prefer.
- Remove from the basket once done and enjoy!

Notes
- Watch the asparagus closely as it's cook as it doesn't take long to overcook. This is also great topped with fresh lemon juice once it's done cooking!
