- Add the frozen asparagus to the hot baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
- Stir and bake an additional 5-10 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your roasted asparagus.
- {optional}: Sprinkle finished asparagus with sea salt.pinch of sea salt
Notes
- Do NOT thaw asparagus before adding it to the baking sheet.
- This base recipe gives you so much freedom to add your favorite seasonings and flavors. I love mixing in garlic powder, Everything But the Bagel Seasoning, Montreal Steak Seasoning, and grated Parmesan.
- Don’t crowd the pan! Give the asparagus plenty of space to roast. Too much veg all smushed together will cause the water to steam instead of evaporating. Try using two or even three pans if you want to roast larger batches.
- Place frozen asparagus in air fryer basket.
- Spray with olive oil.
- Bake at 390˚F for 7 minutes.
