Ingredients

  • 16 thick asparagus
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Spray oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your air fryer as you would do with your oven. Most air fryers have a preheat button, but if yours doesn't have one, simply turn your air fryer to 195°C (380°F) for 5 minutes.
  2. Rinse the asparagus and trim off or snap the woody ends.
  3. Place the asparagus in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer and not touching each other.
  4. Lightly spray the asparagus with olive oil, and sprinkle on salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the asparagus halfway through cooking.
  6. Remove the asparagus from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Before cooking, wash the asparagus and trim the ends. You can snap them off or cut them with a knife, depending on your preference.
  • The size of the asparagus can affect the cooking time. Thicker asparagus will take longer to cook than thinner asparagus, so it's important to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Choosing asparagus spears that are uniform in size will ensure that they cook evenly.
  • To prevent the asparagus from sticking to the basket, spray the basket with cooking spray before adding the asparagus.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket. This allows the hot air to circulate around the asparagus evenly and helps them cook to perfection.
  • Gently shake the air fryer basket a few times during cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Air Fryer Asparagus is best served immediately while it's still crispy and flavorful.
