Ingredients

8 oz asparagus
1 teaspoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
salt
pepper
½ lemon

Instructions

Carefully rinse and dry the asparagus spears. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus.
Add asparagus to a large plate. Drizzle the olive oil on top, add the dried oregano, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat.
Place asparagus spears in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 370 F for 7-9 minutes.
Remove from the air fryer, plate, then squeeze fresh lemon juice on top. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Cooking times for the air fried asparagus will vary based on the thickness of your asparagus. Start checking around the 6 minute mark for regular asparagus, but cook until your desired level of doneness.
Be careful when rinsing and drying your asparagus. The tips or the asparagus stalks are fragile and can easily come off if you're too rough.
Use a plate to season and toss your asparagus on. Because the asparagus spears are long, they can be hard to toss in a bowl. It's easier to do on a large plate.
There is no need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe.
