Notes
- Thinner asparagus will take about 6-7 minutes to cook, and thicker will take closer to 10 minutes.
- Choose spears that are neither too thin (has a tendency to burn) or too thick (may not be as tender).
- Check the vegetables at the 5-minute mark. Keep in mind that air fryers have different wattages, and cooking time will also depend on the size and thickness of the stalks.
- You can use any type of asparagus for this recipe— white, green, or purple.
