Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the asparagus. Trim the tough ends.
  2. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, minced garlic (or garlic powder), salt, and pepper. Ensure the spears are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
  4. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 8-12 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly charred. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the air fryer and toss with fresh lemon juice. Serve immediately. This is a great air fryer asparagus recipe!
