Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Asparagus
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee, melted
  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos*
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Trim the ends of your asparagus stalks. Now cut each asparagus stalk in half.  Brush oil on the asparagus, you can place inside a container with a lid and shake, or use a ziplock bag to ensure it's evenly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Toss the asparagus in the basket of the air fryer. Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Thinner stalks may only need 8 minutes. 
  • While asparagus is cooking, make your sauce. Stir together butter, coconut aminos, and balsamic. 
  • Pour the sauce on top of the hot asparagus and serve!

Notes

*You can use GF Tamari Soy Sauce in place of coconut aminos if not following a Paleo diet.
