If you’re looking for an easy way to cook tender-on-the-inside but crunchy-on-the-outside asparagus, then your air fryer is the way to go. This is basically roasted asparagus, but with a textural bonus. Plus, it’s super simple ti cook asparagus in the air fryer and walk away. If you prefer your asparagus softer, cook for 10 minutes instead of 8. You’ll want to use medium thick asparagus, but if that’s not available then adjust the cook time accordingly.
