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!
