Marinating asparagus in a red wine Dijon vinaigrette gives each bite bright, layered flavor in this easy air fryer asparagus recipe. The marinade creates crisp, caramelized edges while keeping the stalks tender—no bland spears here.

Asparagus in the Air Fryer
If you usually cook asparagus with just oil and salt, try marinating the spears first. A quick red wine vinegar and Dijon vinaigrette adds tang and depth, while the air fryer delivers a perfectly crisp exterior in minutes. This method is fast, flavorful, and ideal for weeknight dinners or a simple holiday side.
