Notes

Air Fryer Asparagus Tips and Timings
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting out with less cook time, checking for doneness, and then adding more time as needed.
  • Cook time will depend on how thick the asparagus spears are. Thinner stems will be done in 5 mins, whilst thicker stems will need to cook for 6-8 mins.
  • Add some extra flavour by seasoning your air fryer asparagus with your favourite herbs and spices. Try a combination of thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder. For those who like some heat, use Cajun seasoning or a light coating of chilli powder and cumin.
