Ingredients for Healthy Air Fried Asparagus

I like to make my own spice blends, but then again I have a huge spice cabinet. So you can choose to make your own, or purchase it from the store.

The reason I like make my own is that I know there are no preservatives, I can control the salt, and again I have a lot of spices… so it’s free.

How to Cook Asparagus in an Air Fryer:

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
2. Add the asparagus to a baking dish and spray with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle over the seasoning you chose, and toss together to coat well.
4. Working in batches if needed, add the asparagus to the air fryer in a single layer.
5. Air fry 5-7 minutes for medium thick asparagus, 7-10 minutes for thick asparagus, or 3-5 minutes for thin asparagus.
6. When the asparagus is crispy on the edges, it’s done.
7. Carefully remove from the air fryer and serve alone, or with one of my low calorie dips (see above!)

When I ask my Facebook Community what they want more of, I always get a lot of air fryer recipe requests. So I have included these extra air fry recipes for you to look over and enjoy along with the asparagus recipe below.

Nutrition and Calories in Air Fryer Asparagus

To figure out this nutrition label, I chose the Italian Seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. If you want to lower the salt, you can make any of the homemade seasoning recipes and omit the salt, or see above for the lemon pepper option that has no salt at all.

Depending on what kind of asparagus you get (thin, medium, thick) 1 pound will differ in how many stalks each serving is. So the best I can do here is tell you that the serving size is 1/4 pound, or 1/4 of the recipe.
