Air Fryer Asparagus

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 20 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb. asparagus (about 2 small bunches)

1 tbsp. salted butter, melted

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. onion powder

Black pepper, to taste

1/4 c. breadcrumbs

Directions

Trim the tough ends of the asparagus (trim more if needed so that the spears fit in your air fryer). Peel the bottom third of the stalks. Toss the asparagus with the melted butter in a large bowl. Add the paprika, salt, onion powder and a few grinds of pepper and toss well. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs and toss to coat the asparagus in the breadcrumbs.

Add half of the asparagus to the air fryer in a single layer and cook at 400˚, shaking the basket halfway through, until browned and tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove to a platter. Repeat with the remaining asparagus. Sprinkle with any remaining breadcrumbs from the fryer.
