Getting Started
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; cook in batches for even crisping. Overfilling traps steam, resulting in limp asparagus.
- Toss asparagus with a high-smoke-point fat like avocado oil or olive oil before air frying. A light coating promotes browning and flavor development.
- For best texture, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Thinner spears cook faster; check for desired tenderness.
- Season generously with salt and pepper before cooking. Add delicate herbs, citrus zest, or a drizzle of olive oil after cooking to preserve their freshness and flavor.
