Crispy Asparagus in Minutes
Enjoy tender, crispy air fryer asparagus tossed with olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder for a quick, healthy side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Sea salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
- In a shallow dish, toss the asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Ensure all spears are evenly coated.
- Arrange the seasoned asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for maximum crispiness.
- Air fry for 5-8 minutes (adjusting for thickness: 3-6 mins for thin, 5-8 for medium, 7-10 for thick) until tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Check for desired doneness – they should be tender with crispy edges. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure asparagus spears are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking and crisping.
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your asparagus spears. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
