Directions
Rins 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.
How To Serve This Dish
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.
Leftover Storage Guide
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.
