Instructions

Break or cut off the woodsy ends of asparagus. They have a natural break if you snap them at the ends.

Cut or slice bacon in half so you have 16 pieces.

Starting in the middle of the asparagus, wrap the bacon around the asparagus towards the bottom allowing the top and bottom to peak out.

Place asparagus in air fryer tray leaving a little space between the pieces and cook on 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until bacon is starting to get crispy and asparagus is tender.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Asparagus Dry 💧
Thoroughly dry your asparagus with paper towels before wrapping in bacon to ensure crispy results and prevent excess moisture from steaming the vegetables.
Overlap Bacon Strategically 🥓
Wrap bacon in a slight spiral pattern with slight overlaps rather than gaps to ensure even cooking and prevent unwrapped sections from drying out.
Preheat and Arrange Properly 🌡️
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F and arrange bundles seam-side down in a single layer to maximize air circulation and achieve uniform crispiness on all sides.
Trim Asparagus Uniformly ✂️
Cut asparagus spears to equal lengths (about 4-5 inches) so they cook evenly and the bacon wraps finish at the same time without overcooking or undercooking.
Season Before Wrapping 🧂
Season asparagus with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before wrapping in bacon so the flavors infuse the vegetable rather than just coating the outside.
