  • Air fry the asparagus. Transfer the asparagus to the basket of an air fryer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches as you want a single layer. Set the temperature to 390°F (200°C) and cook for 4 to 5 minutes for thinner spears, and 6 to 8 minutes for thicker spears.
