  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation & Ingredient Tips

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for a few minutes.
  2. Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. You can do this by holding each spear at the bottom and bending it until it naturally snaps. Discard the woody ends.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the trimmed asparagus spears, garlic seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss them together until the asparagus is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  4. Place the seasoned asparagus spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  5. Cook the asparagus in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the spears halfway through the cooking time. The asparagus should be tender and slightly crispy.
  6. Once cooked, carefully remove the asparagus from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
  7. Serve the air fried asparagus immediately as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
