I am obsessed with roasting green veggies in the air fryer! So far, I’ve tried broccoli, brussels sprouts, and now asparagus. Read about the benefits of eating green vegetables every day.
I’ve said this before, but I love cooking in the air fryer because it’s easier to make smaller batches and you don’t have to heat up your kitchen. This is like the air fryer I have.
