In general I like my fresh asparagus cooked on the grill. I currently don’t have a grill at my new house. But to be honest, now that I’ve cooked fresh asparagus in my new air fryer a couple of times, I might not mess with the grill anymore. The air fryer perfectly sears the asparagus. A little oil, salt and fresh lemon juice are all that’s needed for the asparagus.

Is Asparagus Healthy?

Absolutely yes, asparagus is healthy. I toss the asparagus in just a bit of vegetable oil to keep it from sticking to the air fryer basket. Asparagus is very low in calories – just 20 calories in 1/2 cup. Its natural fiber content can help improve digestive health. And asparagus is a terrific source of antioxidants.

How to make Air Fryer Asparagus:

*scroll to the bottom for a printable version of these recipe instructions*

Roasting asparagus in the air fryer is so quick and easy! Simply snap off the tough ends of the asparagus and rinse it under cold water. Then lightly drizzle the asparagus in vegetable oil. Cook the asparagus in the air fryer at 375 degrees F for 6 – 8 minutes. Once the asparagus has roasted, sprinkle it with salt and squeeze some fresh lemon juice over it right before serving.
