Springtime means it’s time for asparagus! I see those delicious green stalks popping up everywhere and it makes me so happy. What also makes me happy is this super easy air fryer asparagus. Perfectly crisp and green and super healthy.
Are you a fat asparagus or skinny asparagus lover? I have a thing for the skinny ones – I’m not sure why but I think they taste better? Anyway, this recipe is the easiest. All you do is snap off the ends (or trim them), toss or spray them with a bit of cooking oil, then pop them in the air fryer for 5 minutes. Boom. Serve them up with plenty of salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon and even some parmesan if you’re feeling luxe.
1 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon oil or cooking spray
salt and freshly ground pepper
lemon, to serve
parmesan, if desired
Toss asparagus with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the air fryer basket and fry at 400°F for 5 minutes.
Enjoy with lemon and parmesan!
