Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch Salt

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. 1. Snap or cut the asparagus so the stalky ends are removed.
  2. 2. Toss with olive oil, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt.
  3. 3. Place in the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400°F until fork tender, about 12 minutes.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They should be good for about 2 to 3 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked asparagus, but it’s best to blanch it beforehand to preserve its texture. Store in a freezer-friendly bag for up to 3 months.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, pasta, or even as a topping for salads.
  • Seasonal Flavors: Consider adding seasonal herbs or spices when they are fresh. Dill or thyme can complement asparagus beautifully.
  • Cooking Time: Depending on your air fryer model, cooking times may vary slightly. Always check for doneness a couple of minutes before the end.
