Air Fryer Asparagus is one of my favorite side dishes! You don’t need anything but the vegetable and your air fryer – delicious every time! And it only takes a few minutes!

Asparagus is one of those vegetables that doesn’t need a lot of seasoning – it’s really best on it’s own. I love it with steak, salmon and shrimp! It’s so easy to prepare too – my Dad used to boil it – but let me tell you DON’T DO IT! Sauteeing in the air fryer makes it so much better!

Air Fryer Asparagus

What part of the asparagus do you eat?

This I learned from my Dad when I was growing up – the ends of the stalks can be pretty woody and not very tasty. So when you prep your asparagus – bend the stalk and wherever it snaps is where it should snap! Discard the woody and and keep the end with the tree. You can snap them in half again – depending on the length – but I like to cook them long.

How do you make air fryer asparagus?

It couldn’t be simpler to air fry asparagus. Take your trimmed stalks and drop them in the air fryer. Spritz with a tiny bit of olive oil spray or I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter spray and a sprinkle of coarse sea salt. Air fry at 350 for 7 minutes – giving it a shake in the middle. I would note using SUPER skinny asparagus will end up crispier – so I like to use asparagus that’s a little thicker.

You can definitely cook it with your protein – but if you’re cooking pork chops, steak or salmon might take longer than the asparagus. So just be sure to start the meat first and add the veggies part way through.

Is asparagus good for you?

Heck yea! It’s super low in calories and has tons of vitamins (highest in C, A, K, Folate & Potassium). It’s also high in antioxidants which can lower blood pressure and has great anti-inflammatory properties. Just half a cup has nearly 2g of fiber (i.e. it makes ya poo!) and it’s great for pregnant women with all the folate and B9. It all adds up to being great for weight loss too – low in calories, made up mostly of water and has lots o’ fiber!

Tell me about Weight Watchers

I love that it’s good for weight loss because I’ve been on Weight Watchers since the beginning of the year. I actually got my first weight loss charm today!!! They send them when you lose a certain number of pounds – today was just 5 but still psyched to get it! On WW, there are a lot of “free” foods which you can have as much of as you like – and this recipe is 0 on ALL PLANS! So eat up!!!

I've found a new fav restaurant! Have you been to Phoenician Taverna in Mason? It's Lebanese food and soooo good! They had something that was just whipped garlic - I could bathe in it! This is the Mezza platter - with little bits and bites of everything! The Labneh and the little empanada thing were my fav - omg - so much yum!!!! ⁣

Making air fryer chicken breasts are definitely one of my go-to dishes – I’ve never had a juicier piece of chicken in my life! I have two ways that I make my chicken and I’m sharing BOTH with you today. Breaded and plain marinated – both ways are delicious!⁣

This is by far the BEST Weight Watchers cabbage soup you’ll ever have! It’s so much more – filled with every vegetable I could think of and I added ground turkey. Two cups of this hearty soup is only 0/1 POINT! (If you’re not on WW – it means it’s super healthy!!!) I’ve been astounded at how much I enjoyed all of these leftovers!⁣
