Best Damn Air Fryer Asparagus

Asparagus can be seasoned any number of ways. The natural flavor of asparagus is very deep and earthy – and quite wonderful. We don’t want to cover up the natural flavor completely. Rather, we want to accentuate the flavor. Lemon juice is so perfect because it really brings out a vibrancy in the flavor profile. The garlic powder and minced garlic then adds a layer of flavoring that also perfectly compliments the asparagus. We’ll actually use a small amount of both garlic powder and minced garlic. This allows us to better cover all the asparagus with just the right amount of garlic flavor without overwhelming it. By using both, we get just the right balance between the lemon and the natural flavors that occur during the air fryer process. Finally, some good coarse salt such as kosher salt or sea salt will make all the flavors pop to life even more. I usually use about ½ tsp, but feel free to salt to your personal taste.
