Ingredients
- 1 pound raw asparagus
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- To trim asparagus, start by holding one spear of asparagus stalks at each end and gently bending it until it snaps. This typically happens when the tough, woody stem meets the tender part. Discard the woody ends, and repeat with the remaining asparagus spears. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to trim the ends of the asparagus by cutting off about 1-2 inches from the bottom of the stalks.
- Preheat the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes. Toss the trimmed asparagus in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer, and set the cooking time for 7-8 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally until the asparagus is crispy and tender.
- Serve with a shake of sea salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
