Ninja Foodi Asparagus Air Fryer Recipe (Paleo/AIP, Vegan)
This air fryer asparagus recipe is so darn easy and tasty. Plus, it only takes a few ingredients and roughly 10 minutes of your time to make. It's made using a Ninja Foodi but any air fryer is fine.
Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus (about 2" worth) or break the ends off where they naturally break.
Put the grill grate in the Ninja Foodi and close the lid. Set it to "grill" and set the heat to 510 degrees. Allow it to preheat.
In the meantime, mix the oil and spices in a small dish.
Put the asparagus in the Ninja Foodi spreading the pieces out evenly. Use a basting brush to brush the oil mixture on the asparagus (if you don't have a basting brush, toss the oil mixture and asparagus in a medium-sided bowl to coat it evenly).
Close the lid and set the time to 7 minutes. Flip the asparagus halfway through. Watch it closely as it does cook quickly. Note: cook times will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus.
When the cook time is up, turn off the air fryer and remove the asparagus with tongs. Serve.
