The oven air fries the asparagus until perfectly tender, then it’s finished off with broil for a richer color. Throw in sweet green peas, some salty feta and a sprinkling of fresh mint for a winning warm salad combo. It makes a bright spring side dish for your celebration table or top with grilled fish or steak for a midweek dinner.
