"Everything" Seasoned Asparagus in the Air Fryer

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

1 pound thin asparagus 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning 1 pinch salt to taste 4 lemon wedges

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Prepare and Air Fry Asparagus

Start by rinsing the asparagus and trimming off the tough ends. Drizzle them with a bit of olive oil on a plate, then sprinkle on your bagel seasoning and toss everything together until the spears are nicely coated. Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket—you might need to do this in batches if you have a lot. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C), then cook the asparagus for about 5 to 6 minutes, shaking the basket or turning them with tongs halfway through so they cook evenly. Once they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch, give them a taste and add salt if you think they need it. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh, zesty finish.

Serving ideas

Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a light meal. It also pairs well with roasted potatoes or a simple quinoa salad. A squeeze of lemon juice on top adds a bright, fresh finish.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to keep the asparagus crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the asparagus soggy.
