Crispy Air Asparagus (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
02 -
1 pound of asparagus, trimmed at the ends
03 -
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
04 -
½ teaspoon of salt
05 -
1 small clove of garlic, minced up finely (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your air fryer to warm up at 370°F. Let it preheat for 3 minutes or more.
02 -
Combine oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a big bowl. Give it a good stir.
03 -
Toss the asparagus into the bowl. Stir it around so every piece gets evenly coated.
04 -
Layer the asparagus spears flat in the fryer basket. Cook them for 6-9 minutes, giving the basket a shake halfway through. Thinner spears cook in 6 minutes, thicker ones could need up to 9.
05 -
Sprinkle on some extra salt and pepper to taste before serving your asparagus. Dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
Use a knife to cut off the white or brown ends of asparagus, or just bend and snap them where they naturally break.
02 -
Thinner asparagus cooks quicker than thicker ones, so watch the timing!
03 -
For smaller air fryers (4-5 quarts), cooking might take a bit longer. Bigger ones might finish faster.
