Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Asparagus: Rinse the fresh asparagus under cool water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Trim the Ends: Snap off the tough ends of each spear by bending each stalk until it naturally breaks.
- Season Generously: In a large bowl, toss asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (200°C) for about five minutes.
- Cook Away: Place seasoned asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 7-10 minutes until tender yet crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Serve It Up: Transfer cooked asparagus onto a serving platter and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired. Serve hot.
