Notes
- Try sprinkling your asparagus with fresh parmesan before cooking for a different taste.
- This recipe works better with medium to thick asparagus.
- Air fryers need space between the food items to circulate and cook properly. Do not overcrowd your air fryer.
- Some air fryers have a pre-heat option. Preheating may reduce the cooking time a little bit.
