Here's how to cook asparagus in the air fryer perfectly tender and crispy in minutes with minimal oil. Try it with Parmesan and other seasonings!

📝 Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Asparagus Spears (any size)
  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil (or preferred oil)
  • Salt and Black Pepper (to taste)
  • Grated Parmesan (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Trim woody ends from the ASPARAGUS, rinse, and pat it dry.
  2. 2Spray or toss ASPARAGUS with OIL until lightly coated.
  3. 3Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. They can touch, just don't stack.
  4. 4Air fry 5–7 minutes for medium stalks, until tender-crisp. Adjust time for thinner or thicker spears. Shake the basket halfway through if needed for even browning, and check early to avoid overcooking.
  5. 5Season with SALT, PEPPER, and optional PARMESAN. Serve.
  6. 6Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 5 days.
