A quick, easy and delicious way to make your favorite veggie side dish. Air Fried Asparagus is ready in under 10 minutes, and is bursting with roasted flavors in a tender stalk with crispy asparagus tips.
Preheat the air fryer on 400 on the air fry setting for 3 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, wash the asparagus, then snap the woody ends off the bottom of the asparagus, setting aside the tender stalks for cooking and discarding the woody ends.
Liberally spray the air fryer trays or air fryer basket with cooking spray. Spread the asparagus spears out on the tray in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the asparagus in the air fryer and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the tray from the air fryer and give it a little shake to turn the asparagus spears over. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 5 minutes, until asparagus has started to crisp up and can be pierced easily with a fork.
