Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and toss the spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Place asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking halfway, until tips are blistered and stalks are fork-tender.
  3. Transfer to a plate and squeeze lemon over the top. Serve hot.

Notes

Thinner spears cook faster, so check them at 7 minutes. For extra thick asparagus, you may need 10 to 12 minutes. This side is best eaten right away, while the tips are still crisp.
