1- asparagus can vary greatly in width, and you may need to adjust the cook time accordingly. Thin asparagus cooked through in 2 minutes, whereas extremely thick asparagus took 5 minutes. Use your best judgement and remove when asparagus is bright green, but before it gets wrinkly.
Storage
Best served fresh, but you can store and reheat:
Cool completely, then store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 days*.

Reheating
To reheat, set your air fryer to 350°F. Heat for 3 or so minutes, turning asparagus as needed, until warmed through.
