Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus woody ends trimmed off
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 2 tsp garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sea salt celtic (skip if using garlic salt)
  • 1 tsp pepper fresh cracked

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to the highest heat available (we prefer 450 degrees, but go as high as your model allows)  
  • Trim asparagus to remove tough, woody ends - discard ends. 
  • In a dish or on a plate, drizzle asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice, mix around with hands to coat evenly. 
  • Generously season with salt and pepper. 
  • Place asparagus in air fryer and roast for 10-15 minutes - checking at around 5 and 10 minutes to see if tips have started to brown slightly and asparagus has softened a bit and shake air fryer basket to move asparagus.
  • Cook until asparagus is lightly soft and has crunchy browned bits, about 15 minutes total (this is very dependent on your air fryer and the thickness of the asparagus stalks - watch it to be sure it doesn't overcook.)
  • When asparagus is done, serve immediately.
