- Steam (or air fry) the asparagus tips ahead of time for a few minutes.
- If air frying the asparagus (instead of steaming) ahead of time, arrange in a single layer and air fry for 5 minutes for medium-thick asparagus.
- For the fluffiest frittata possible, whisk the ingredients just before placing in the air fryer. Try not to allow these ingredients to sit even for a little while.
- Cooking times vary with air fryers, remove the frittata when it is golden-brown on top and when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
