Air Fryer Maple-Chili Pumpkin Seeds

When a friend delivered me 10 pounds of fresh organic asparagus and I still had an open bottle of Burgundy, I came up with this recipe. Any wine that you like is probably acceptable. The cooking time will also vary based on the temperature of your grill and the level of doneness you like.
