How To Make Ninja Speedi Asparagus
Step One: Wash the asparagus spears and trim off the tough ends. Optionally, you can peel the lower part of the stems for a more tender texture.
Step Two: Drizzle the asparagus spears with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss the asparagus to coat evenly with the seasonings.
Step Three: Spread the seasoned asparagus spears in a single layer on the cooking tray of the Ninja Speedi. Roast at around 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and slightly caramelized.
Step Four: Arrange the seasoned asparagus spears in the air fryer basket of the Ninja Speedi. Set Ninja Speedi temperature to 375°F (190°C) and set cook time for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Ninja Speedi Asparagus Recipe Tips
- Trim the tough ends of the asparagus for even cooking and tenderness.
- Toss asparagus in oil and seasonings thoroughly to ensure full flavor.
- Arrange in a single layer on the Ninja Speedi tray for consistent roasting.
- Roast at high heat to get slightly caramelized edges and a tender bite.
- Optional: peel the lower stems for extra tenderness and a smoother texture.
Storing Instructions
- Let cooked asparagus cool completely before storing.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
- Reheat gently in the air fryer, Ninja Speedi, or a skillet to maintain texture.
- Avoid overcooking when reheating to prevent sogginess.
Ninja Speedi Asparagus Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen asparagus instead of fresh? Yes, but reduce the cooking time slightly and make sure to thaw and pat dry first for best results.
Do I need to peel the asparagus stems? Peeling is optional. It can make the lower stems more tender, especially for thicker spears.
Can I season asparagus with other spices? Absolutely! Garlic powder, paprika, lemon zest, or Parmesan cheese all work well.
How do I reheat leftovers? Reheat in the Ninja Speedi, air fryer, or a skillet for a few minutes to retain texture.
