Air Fryer Asparagus (or Any Crispy Veggie!)
I used 1 pound of asparagus, trimmed the ends, added a tiny drizzle of oil, and sprinkled my favorite seasoning—Creole spice—right on top. Then I placed it in the air fryer at 400°F for 8 minutes until it was perfectly crispy and flavorful.
That’s it—super simple.
The key here is crispy vegetables, because they add the perfect texture and contrast to the dish. You can easily swap the asparagus for other vegetables depending on what you have on hand.
Other great options include:
- Potatoes (cubed or wedges)
- Beets (small cubes)
- Carrots
- Broccoli florets
- Cauliflower
- Brussels sprouts
- Green beans
- Zucchini slices
- Sweet potato cubes
Just toss the vegetables with a little oil, add your favorite seasoning, and air fry until golden and crispy.
