Notes
Butter. You really don’t need a lot of butter, just a small quantity that you can cut into super tiny pieces and that will melt over the asparagus.
Size. Note that sometimes the asparagus can be too long and either needs a little extra removing from the ends or slicing in half to fit. Go with what works best with your air fryer.
