Notes
- Refrigerator: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover garlic roasted asparagus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat: Warm the asparagus in the air fryer or oven, or eat it chilled. You can use the microwave, but it’s not as ideal because the texture will be mushier.
