What You Do
In a small bowl, whisk together the aioli ingredients until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook 2-3 minutes or until fork tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the asparagus to a bowl filled with ice water. Once the ice has melted, use the slotted spoon to transfer the asparagus to a paper towel-lined plate. Pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the asparagus, flour or breadcrumbs, milk or Greek yogurt, parsley, chives, eggs, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, oregano and cayenne until thoroughly combined.
Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Working in batches, use a cookie scoop to drop dollops of the fritter batter into the air fryer basket 1-inch apart. Cook 8-12 minutes or until fritters are set. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve asparagus fritters with lemon dill aioli.
