  • Toss the asparagus with oil and seasonings: This will help the asparagus to crisp up and brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: If you overcrowd the basket, the asparagus will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the asparagus in batches: If you have a lot of asparagus to cook, cook it in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket: Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the asparagus cooks evenly.
  • Serve the asparagus fries immediately: Asparagus fries are best served hot and crispy.
  • Try different seasonings: You can experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite combination.
