Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound thin asparagus
- ½ teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Wash and dry the asparagus. Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus.
- If required per your air fryer model, preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with oil and salt.
- Spread out the seasoned asparagus in a thin layer in the air fryer. It is okay if some spears overlap each other a tiny bit, but you don’t want significant overlap.
- Place the basket or tray into the air fryer and set to air fry at 400 degrees F for 4 minutes.
- Remove the basket or tray and give the asparagus a shake. Return to the air fryer and continue to air fry at 400 degrees F for 3 minutes.
- If the asparagus has not reached the level of doneness/crispiness you prefer, continue to cook in 1-minute intervals at 400 degrees F.
- Season with additional salt if needed and serve immediately.
Notes
Storage: Allow the asparagus to cool slightly and place in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheating: To reheat the asparagus, place it into the air fryer for 3-4 minutes, at 380 degrees F.
If using a smaller air fryer: You may need to work in batches to allow the asparagus to be evenly spaced. Keep the first batch in the oven at 200 degrees F while the other batch cooks up.
