Ingredients

  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper

Instructions

  • Trim asparagus to remove the woody part on the end. You can do this by breaking it off with your hands or by using a knife and cutting approximately 2 inches off of the bottom.
  • Place trimmed asparagus spears in a dish and pour olive oil, salt, and pepper over top. Toss with your hands to coat.
  • Place as an even, single layer in the air fryer basket. You may have to work in stages, depending on how much you are making and the size of the device.
  • Set temperature to 390 degrees F and 8 minutes of cook time. Shake basket or use tongs to flip spears at the halfway point to ensure they are evenly cooked.
