Ingredients
- A generous pound of delicate asparagus spears
- A drizzle of fragrant olive oil, just a tablespoon
- A sprinkle of versatile everything bagel seasoning
- A pinch of salt, to your unique taste
- Four lemon wedges for that zesty finish
Step 1
Begin by preparing the asparagus - start by rinsing and trimming the spears, ensuring to remove any tough ends. Next, arrange the asparagus neatly on a serving plate, and generously drizzle with fragrant olive oil. For added flavor, sprinkle a generous amount of bagel seasoning over the asparagus and gently toss to evenly coat each spear.
Step 2
Once the asparagus is well-seasoned, carefully transfer them to the air fryer basket, making sure they are arranged in a single layer. Depending on the quantity, you may need to work in batches for optimal results. Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure a perfect cooking environment.
Step 3
Air fry the asparagus until they are just tender, remembering to toss them halfway through the cooking process using tongs to promote even browning. This should take around 5 to 6 minutes, but keep an eye on them to achieve your desired level of doneness. Before serving, taste a spear and adjust the seasoning with a sprinkle of salt if necessary.
Step 4
To enhance the flavors further, consider serving the air-fried asparagus with zesty lemon wedges on the side, adding a refreshing citrusy touch to the dish. Enjoy this delightful and easy-to-make asparagus recipe!
