Keto Air Fried Crispy Asparagus
How to Make It
Step 1
Select 6 pieces of asparagus per serving. Choose pieces that are similar in thickness and length. Try to avoid particularly thin pieces. Cut off any hard, purple ends, and add the asparagus to a mixing bowl. Toss the asparagus with the olive oil until they are completely coated and shiny with olive oil. There shouldn’t be so much that the oil is dripping or pooling.
Step 2
Turn on your air fryer and preheat it to 350 degrees for at least 5-7 minutes. Line your air fryer tray with parchment paper, if necessary. Meanwhile, arrange ground pork rinds on a plate or clean, flat surface. You can turn pork rinds into a crumbly breading by pulsing them in a food processor or blender. One by one, roll each piece of oiled asparagus in the pork rind breading and place them on the sheet tray. You should have approximately ½ TB of pork rinds coating each piece of asparagus.
Step 3
Place the tray of asparagus in your air fryer and cook for 7 minutes. Then, rotate or flip the asparagus over and cook for an additional 7 minutes. To check for doneness, the breading on the asparagus should be dark and adhered to the asparagus. The asparagus itself will be quite soft and tender. Once cooled, enjoy as finger food with your favorite Keto dip or as a side dish with a fork and knife.
