Why This Recipe Is A Favorite
A quick and healthy way to enjoy fresh asparagus with a flavorful twist. The "everything" spice mix adds a savory crunch that makes each bite exciting. It’s perfect as a snack or a side without much fuss.
Directions
Rins your asparagus and trimming off the tough ends. Drizzle them with olive oil on a plate, then sprinkle your bagel seasoning over the top. Give everything a good toss so the asparagus is nicely coated. Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Arrange the asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket—if you have a lot, you might need to do this in batches. Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, shaking or tossing them halfway through to make sure they cook evenly. Once they’re tender but still have a little snap, give them a taste and add salt if you think they need it. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh pop of flavor.
