Asparagus is our favorite veggie, so naturally, it was the first veggie I threw in my brand-new air fryer. It turned out so yummy I’ve been air-frying asparagus almost every single day since. We can’t get enough of this super simple side dish, and I know you’re going to love it too. The air fryer turns asparagus perfectly crisp and tender with just the right amount of roasted browned flavor. We like to keep it ultra simple with just a light olive oil garlic mixture to flavor it. But you’ll also find my lemon and parmesan options below as well. And finally while this recipe ‘technically’ makes 4 servings, the 2 of us usually eat all 4 servings. You’ll find this asparagus is so tasty you’re excited to eat your vegetables.
How to make this recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Air Fryer Asparagus recipe! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. And let me know if you’re interested in more air fryer vegetable recipes. If you’re using the garlic granules, you can skip mixing them together with the olive oil and move to step 3. I have a 5.5 quart that fits about 1 pound of asparagus. If you’re cooking asparagus for more people, I recommend either working in batches or just cook a large batch in the oven with my Roasted Asparagus Recipe. Step 5: Toss the asparagus about halfway through the cooking time. Continue to cook just until lightly browned and tender. Serve immediately with your favorite main dish recipes.
