Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- cooking spray
- salt and black pepper
- 2 TB butter
- ½ cup sliced almonds
- ½ cup parsley chopped
- ½ lemon sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Place the asparagus spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly coat them with cooking spray and season with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the asparagus in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time for even browning. The asparagus should be tender but still slightly crisp.
- While the asparagus is cooking, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and cook until they turn golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Once the asparagus is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the melted butter and almond mixture evenly over the asparagus.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the asparagus, and garnish with lemon slices.
- Serve the air fryer asparagus immediately as a side dish or as a light appetizer.
