What is Roasted Asparagus?
Roasted asparagus is loaded with so much flavor! Sometimes steamed veggies can get a little boring. Roasted asparagus packs a little crunch and if you season appropriately, tons of flavor! Check out this Roasted Asparagus recipe that uses the oven. Now you can let the air fryer do the work and save a little time.
How To Cook and Roast Asparagus in an Air Fryer
- Wash and trim the hard ends off the asparagus.
- Drizzle the asparagus in olive oil. You can also use olive oil spray. Sprinkle with seasonings.
- Air fry.
What Temperature Do You Cook Asparagus in an Air Fryer?
I like to use 360 degrees.
How Long Do You Roast Asparagus in an Air Fryer?
I don’t recommend going over 10 minutes in the air fryer. Monitor the asparagus closely because every air fryer brand cooks differently. I like for my roasted asparagus to have a little bit of char, but I don’t want it to be too slimy. If you roast it too long you will burn it and will become really soft to the touch.
After the asparagus has cooked for 5 minutes, start to monitor it closely.
Is Air Fryer Asparagus Keto and Vegan?
Absolutely! This dish has only 1 net carb per serving and is vegetarian and vegan-friendly.

This is the easiest way I've made asparagus and my new favorite. I never thought to make them in the air fryer- I was always worried about them being too crispy. I used 2 bunches of asparagus and cooked for 8 min. They came out perfect,the right crispness but still soft. I'm hooked.

Turned out so good! Way better than baking asparagus in the oven. I paired this with salmon and followed her tips to cook the perfect salmon. My bf said the meal was restaurant quality!
