Air Fryer “Roasted” Asparagus
Asparagus is such an easy side dish to accompany any meal. For extra flavor, add your favorite dry spices before cooking. Adjust cooking time accordingly based on the thickness of the asparagus. If your asparagus is particularly tough, you can peel the stalks with a vegetable peeler to remove the tough skin.

- 1 pound fresh asparagus , ends trimmed
- Oil spray or olive oil
- salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
Equipment
Instructions
- Coat the asparagus with oil spray or olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Lay the asparagus evenly in the air fryer basket. Make sure to coat the asparagus tips so they don’t burn or dry out too fast. It is best to season before you put in the air fryer basket. Too much excess salt in the air fryer baskets will often start to break down with coating.
- Air Fry at 380°F for 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness, shake and turn asparagus halfway through cooking.
- Taste for seasoning & tenderness, then serve.
