Ingredients
1
bunch of fresh asparagus spears
8-10
bacon strips
1
tablespoon
olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and toss them in olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Partially cook the bacon in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until slightly crisp.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a strip of partially cooked bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks.
Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender, turning halfway through.
Serve hot, removing toothpicks before eating.
Notes
Select Fresh Asparagus: Choose bright green asparagus with firm stalks and closed tips for the best results.
Partially Cook Bacon: Par-cook the bacon for a few minutes before wrapping it around asparagus to ensure both bacon and asparagus cook evenly.
Use Toothpicks: Secure the bacon around the asparagus with toothpicks to prevent unraveling during cooking.
Space Them Out: Arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
Watch Closely: Keep an eye on your air fryer to prevent overcooking; cooking times may vary depending on your appliance.
