The Best Air-Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
A quick and crispy way to enjoy fresh asparagus wrapped in delicious bacon bliss. Perfect for impressing guests or just treating yourself!
Equipment
- Air-fryer
- Mixing bowl
- Baking Sheet (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 8-10 strips of thick-cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder optional
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, and drizzle a bit of olive oil over the spears. Toss to coat and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with a slice of bacon, overlapping slightly.
- Place the wrapped spears in your air fryer basket in a single layer—avoid stacking if you can.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and golden.
- Serve up and enjoy the oohs and aahs as your friends devour these tasty bites!
Notes
- If you're feeling extra ambitious, try experimenting with different types of bacon—cherrywood smoked, anyone?
- These guys are best enjoyed fresh out of the air fryer, but if you have leftovers (which is highly unlikely), they can be stored in the fridge for a day or two.
