Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
These Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus bundles took me less than five minutes to make…and they were extra yummy!
Probably my new favorite way to make asparagus is in my air fryer.
Pretty much most side these days I make in my air fryer because of how easy it is.
My whole family loves asparagus, and bacon just makes everything better, so these were quite popular.
How to Make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
This is a pound of asparagus, I trimmed the bottom inch or two from them because that part is tough.
Then I tossed them with some olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper.
The next step is cutting a few pieces of bacon in half.
Then wrap a half slice of bacon around three of the asparagus spears.
The key here is using thinner bacon, you could even stretch it a bit as you wrap the asparagus.
We want the bacon to cook and crisp up in the same time it takes the asparagus to cook in the air fryer, so that’s why thinner bacon works best.
.
Set the air fryer to 380 for 12 to 14 minutes and you have a pretty spectacular side dish if I do say so myself đŸ™‚
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is best if eaten right away.
We had ours with Everything Bagel Casserole, which worked out perfectly as the casserole baked in the oven.
I started these with 14 minutes left on the timer and it was all done at the same time.
