- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or any high smoke point oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears by snapping or cutting them off.
- Place the trimmed asparagus spears in the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Brush the spears with the avocado oil.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the oiled spears and toss to distribute the seasoning evenly.
