Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Prepare the asparagus by trimming the ends and rinsing under cold water.
  2. In a small bowl, melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  3. Toss the asparagus in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Place the coated asparagus in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  5. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  6. Remove from the air fryer, let cool slightly, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, serve immediately. Leftover asparagus can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain some crispness.
