Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. black pepper
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp. nutritional yeast
- Lemon wedges to serve
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus and pat dry. Trim off the woody ends. Pick up a spear and try to bend it. Where it breaks off at the wooden end is the perfect place for using it.
- In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and nutritional yeast. Make sure everything is well tossed.
- Preheat the air fryer to 200C or 400F for 4 minutes.
- Lay the seasoned asparagus in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears, until they are tender and well cooked but still have a little bite.
- Remove and serve air fryer asparagus right away with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
Thicker stalks take a bit longer to cook so keep an eye on your air frying time after 4 minutes.
Spread the spears out so they roast evenly in the air fryer.
For extra flavour, sprinkle some chilli flakes.
If you want them crispier, cook for a minute or two longer, but watch closely so the tips don’t burn.
These taste best fresh, but if you have leftovers, pop them back in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to reheat.
