Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus any variety
- ½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry 1 pound asparagus. To trim the woody bottom of the asparagus, hold one spear on either end and gently bend it in half. The stalk will snap naturally where the asparagus needs to be trimmed. Use that spear as a guide to where to cut the remaining asparagus.
- If required per your air fryer model, preheat to 400℉ (200℃).
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with ½ teaspoon extra virgin olive oil and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Spread out the seasoned asparagus in a thin layer in the air fryer. It is okay if some spears overlap each other a tiny bit, but you don’t want significant overlap.
- Place the basket or tray into the air fryer and set to air fry at 400℉ (200℃) for 4 minutes. Remove the basket or tray and give the asparagus a shake. Return to the air fryer and continue to air fry for 2 minutes. If the asparagus has not reached the level of doneness/crispiness you prefer, continue to cook in 1-minute intervals, shaking between each interval.
- Season with additional salt if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Allow the asparagus to cool slightly and place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat the asparagus, place it into the air fryer for 3-4 minutes, at 380℉.
If using a smaller air fryer: You may need to work in batches to allow the asparagus to be evenly spaced. Keep the first batch in the oven at 200℉ while the other batch cooks up.
