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 First 💧
Thoroughly dry the asparagus with paper towels before wrapping in bacon to ensure crispiness and prevent steam buildup in the air fryer.
Overlap Bacon Strategically 🥓
Wrap bacon diagonally around asparagus bundles with slight overlaps rather than tightly wrapping, allowing air circulation for maximum crispiness on all sides.
Trim Asparagus Uniformly ✂️
Cut asparagus spears to the same length (about 4-5 inches) so they cook evenly and cook faster than thicker stalks.
Shake the Basket Midway 🎯
Pause at the 12-minute mark to gently shake or flip the bundles to ensure even bacon rendering and prevent sticking to the basket.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Let bacon sit out for 10 minutes before wrapping so it's pliable and wraps more easily without cracking or tearing during handling.
