Notes

Storage

Store: To store leftover asparagus, allow it to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerated properly, it can last for 3-4 days. For best results when reheating, pop it back into the air fryer for a few minutes to revive its crispy texture.
Freeze: Blanch the asparagus first by boiling it for a couple of minutes and then plunging it into ice water. This process helps maintain its vibrant color and nutrients. Dry the spears thoroughly, then freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored frozen for up to 8 months. To reheat, place the frozen spears directly in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they are heated through and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
