This is a simple, basic recipe that yields delicious results. Even my kids love this asparagus recipe. I make it often because it pairs well with so many main dishes and is quick to throw together.

Ingredient Notes

I prefer the thinnest asparagus spears I can find. If you use thicker ones they may not be as tender.

Most lemon pepper seasoning will also include salt. If yours doesn’t you will need to add a pinch or two of salt.

Preparation Notes

To remove the ends from your asparagus, pick one spear and snap of the end by hand where it breaks easily
This will be your guide to pile up and trim the rest of the spears with a knife
Toss the spears with oil and layer in the air fryer
While cooking, check and shake the basket a few times and cook just until desired doneness

Equipment Notes

I used my 5.8 quart Cosari Air Fryer for this Recipe

Recipe Notes

Some people prefer more tender asparagus and some prefer it to still have a little crunch
