These asparagus bites were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they were baked instead of fried.

I followed the recipe exactly and my asparagus bites turned out soggy. Not sure what went wrong. Maybe I should have cooked them for less time?

These asparagus bites were a bit bland for my taste. I think they needed more seasoning or a dipping sauce. Otherwise, they were easy to make and the asparagus was cooked perfectly.
