Roasted Air Fryer Asparagus
Roasted Air Fryer Asparagus is made with asparagus, olive oil, grated Parmesan, lemon juice; air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes to serve 4. 70 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Snap or trim the woody ends off the asparagus. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Arrange in a single layer in the basket. Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes until tender-crisp with charred tips.
- 3
Thin spears take 6 minutes; thick spears need the full 8.
- 4
Immediately top with Parmesan, lemon juice, and zest.
Tip: Snap each spear near the bottom — it naturally breaks where the tough part ends. Don't overcook; asparagus should have a slight snap, not be mushy. Thick spears roast better than pencil-thin ones.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 8 minutes vs ~13 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
