Frequently asked questions

How do you know when asparagus is done?

Test the asparagus with a fork for doneness. It will be crisp and bright green.

Do you preheat an air fryer?

Air fryers work best when preheated prior to adding food. Be sure to check your owners manual for exact instructions on preheating.

What part of asparagus are you supposed to eat?

Before cooking asparagus, trim the bottom to remove any woody stems. You may eat the entire stem either raw or cooked.
