Getting Started
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes before adding asparagus. This ensures even cooking and a crisper exterior.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook asparagus in a single layer to allow hot air to circulate properly. If needed, cook in batches.
- Toss asparagus with a high smoke point oil like avocado or grapeseed oil, rather than olive oil, especially for higher temperatures to prevent burning.
- For a dairy-free 'creamy' finish, toss cooked asparagus with a tablespoon of dairy-free pesto or a drizzle of cashew cream before serving.
