Guys I bought an air fryer and am now living my best life!!! This thing is amazing! 

Does it fry asparagus? Don't know anything about air fryers, but love asparagus and always over cook it. 

It does fry asparagus! I usually broil my asparagus but that always took too long. The air fryer did it in 10 minutes. Next time I am going to try 8 minutes though because they turned out a touch crispy...Or just add more butter :) 

I am definitly going to try this, I hate heating up the oven just to roast a veggie. So far I only use my air fryer for my husbands french fries or if I am making chicken wings.  

Looks amazing! 

I have got to invest in one of these everyone I know that has one raves about them! And I LOVE roasted veggies. Yummm!😋👌🏻 

have you tried it with Kale? 

Yum 

not too many people like asparagus but i love it so gooooooood 

My wife prepares our asparagus in our convection wall oven. We have an Air Fryer but found out the oven produces similar results... #tasty  

I could eat it every day and in every way. Love just munching it raw for a snack.  

I just discovered asparagus recently, & I'm 62! I love it!! :) 

I’ve never eaten asparagus raw!?!? It’s a thing? Safe? Digestible? Really? When someone answers, I want to try, I have two huge bunches in the fridge!! 

@wifey9707 Yes it is edible raw but tastes sooo much better cooked. My fav. way is to cut them up into thirds toss them in EVOO add salt and pepper then saute on stope top (i usually add minced garlic to the pan first) then add asparagus cook for about 7 mins till crispy/tender! Delicious and quick! 👌🏻😉 

Thanks Tara. I do what you do, only on parchment in the oven. Delicious!!  

Yum! I just ate sum pan seared but crunchy asparagus for dinner! 😍 

We love asparagus here. The air fryer is a good idea, but i like mine with garlic (and lots of it) so maybe not. I cut the woody ends off, throw it in a ziplock, put in a couple of cloves of garlic, salt pepper, a couple of tablespoons of white wine and a squeeze of lemon juice. 8 minutes in the microwave on 50% and then let it sit in the bag steaming for a few minutes and done. It's sooooo gooood. 

Good idea. Like the steam method too.
