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.

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.

Depending on your preferred cooking method:

Steaming: Place the seasoned asparagus spears in the steaming basket of the Ninja Speedi. Steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender yet still crisp.

Roasting: 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.

Air Frying: Arrange the seasoned asparagus spears in the air fryer basket of the Ninja Speedi. Air fry at around 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Serve: Once the asparagus is cooked to your desired level of tenderness, remove it from the Ninja Speedi and serve immediately. Enjoy the deliciously tender and flavorful asparagus as a side dish or as part of your favorite recipes.
