Notes

  • Asparagus should be trimmed to remove the tough, woody ends. To trim asparagus easily, bend the spear gently by holding it on either end of the stalk until it snaps. It will break naturally at the point where the stalk gets tough and woody. Discard the woody ends, or keep them to flavour soups or other recipes.
  • Choose spears that are all around the same size for even cooking. Look for thicker stalks of asparagus if possible. If yours are very thin, reduce the cooking time.
  • Spray the coated spears lightly with olive or vegetable oil before air frying or oven frying for maximum crispness.
  • Space the spears apart so that they aren't touching in the air fryer or on the baking sheet. This allows the hot air to circulate freely around each piece.
