Splendid asparagus air frying time
Not all asparagus is created equally, which is why thicker stalks should always be chosen when air frying your harvest. But, should only thin ones be available, air frying times may need to be adjusted accordingly.
Thin stalks will require about 3-4 minutes with half the stalks being turned every 4 minutes for optimal results. Medium to thick stalks need about 5-6 minutes and finally 7- 6-7 minutes total time should be allotted before serving them up!
One effective method for trimming asparagus? Snip off one asparagus stalk from its woody end and use that as your starting point when trimming others; repeat until all asparagus have been cut back to size.

Why Are Asparagus Plants So Frequently Set Aside? | Home Life Kitchen (Kitchen)…
Asparagus may contain dirt and grit, especially its buds. Soaking it for several minutes prior to cooking will remove this build-up of dust particles from its pores and free them of their grip on Asparagus’ delicate structure.

Blanching asparagus involves first cooking it in boiling water before immediately placing it into an icy bath to preserve both color and style.
Air fryer ensures color retention and nutritional vitamin preservation through convectional cooking technology; eliminating the need for blanching.

Freezing cooked asparagus should only ever be done when absolutely necessary as it quickly degenerates into an unpleasant texture upon defrosting.
TO REHEAT: For optimal reheating results, an air fryer, microwave or scorching skillet are your go-to devices.
