Air Fryer Roasted Asparagus
Description
The recipe involves trimming the bottom inch of asparagus spears, coating them with extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cooking in an air fryer at 400°F for 7 minutes produces asparagus that is tender yet crisp, with a lightly roasted flavor. This method cooks the spears evenly and quickly without needing much oil or added ingredients.
This asparagus dish serves well as a simple side or a healthy snack, pairing nicely with a range of main courses or salads. The quick air frying technique makes it convenient for weeknight meals.
