Directions
In a shallow dish, mix together the honey, Sriracha, and a little water until it’s nice and smooth. Toss the asparagus in the glaze so each spear gets coated, then let them sit while you heat up the air fryer. Set your air fryer to 350°F and let it preheat for about 10 minutes. Once it’s ready, arrange the asparagus in the basket in a single layer and cook for around 3 minutes, or until they’re tender but still have a bit of crunch. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overcook. Enjoy!
Best Ways To Serve
Serve alongside grilled chicken or fish for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with rice or quinoa bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions to add extra flavor and color.
Best Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven to keep the asparagus crisp and the glaze fresh. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
