For best results, use asparagus spears that are roughly the same thickness to ensure even cooking. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, such as Pecorino Romano or Asiago, for a unique flavor profile. Add a dash of garlic powder or onion powder to the panko mixture for extra savory notes. If you don't have stone-ground mustard, Dijon mustard can be used as a substitute. These are best served immediately, as they lose their crispness over time.

Jun 14, 2025I found that spraying the asparagus with a little olive oil before air frying helped them get even crispier.
