Notes

  • Do not thaw before cooking.
  • Toss the frozen asparagus with melted butter or oil and seasoning to coat the spears well. 
  • Separate frozen asparagus by running them under cold water long enough to separate them.
  • Turn unused fresh asparagus into frozen asparagus. Flash-freeze leftover fresh asparagus for 1-2 hours before transferring them to an airtight container. 
  • Shake or turn the asparagus over halfway through the cooking time to ensure it cooks evenly. 
  • When air frying, there will be liquid in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Use tongs to remove the asparagus rather than dumping it onto a plate. 
  • Cooking times are a guide and may vary depending on your air fryer.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There is 1 WW Blue Plan SmartPoint in one serving of this.
