Add asparagus to your list of things that you can cook in your air fryer. This easy four ingredient Air Fryer Asparagus recipe takes just a few minutes and can be spruced up with air fryer bacon, garlic Parmesan butter, or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy this with air fryer steak, cajun shrimp, or roasted chicken legs to make this a complete air fryer meal.

Why Make This

  • Requires just a few ingredients: which keeps this recipe simple and allows you to spruce this up if you wish with things like garlic butter and bacon.
  • Easy recipe for all levels of cooks: make asparagus in the Ninja Foodi by seasoning the asparagus and tossing midway through.

Ingredients Needed

  • Asparagus: I used a fresh bunch that weighed about 1 pound
  • Avocado Oil: I use this to help the cooking process, but also to help the spices stick to the asparagus.
  • Sea Salt: you can add this to taste. I’m using fine sea salt.
  • Herb Seasoning: this is one of my favorite simple mixes. I use it to roast chicken legs in the air fryer and make air fryer boneless chicken thighs. I love it because it has 24 herbs and spices like garlic, sage, savory, and rosemary. It gives everything a slow roasted, meaty flavor without either of those things.

Top Cooking Tips & FAQs

Garlic Parmesan Asparagus

This recipe already has flavors of garlic. But, for more of a garlic Parmesan flavor, you can top your asparagus in melted garlic butter and a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

How do you trim asparagus stalks?

There are two ways to trim asparagus: cut them or bend them.

To cut them, simply cut off the hard wooden part. But, I find that you can accidentally leave some of the inedible part on the stalk.

To bend your asparagus, just hold the center of the stalk and bend from wood-like end. The asparagus will trim itself by breaking at a natural point.

Can you make asparagus in the air fryer with butter?

Yes – one of my favorite ways to make this is by substituting the avocado oil for melted butter. One option is to use my herb butter.
