Ingredients

12 asparagus spears
12 slices bacon [Note 1]

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400°F/ 200°C.
Rinse and dry asparagus spears, trim to remove any woody bits if required.
Wrap each spear with bacon from the bottom to the top, gently pulling the bacon tight as you go.
Place bacon asparagus in air fryer basket/tray in a single layer [Note 2].
Air fry bacon wrapped asparagus for 10-15 minutes, flipping it over halfway through the cooking time if required for your air fryer [Note 3].
Cook until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crispy.

Notes

Choose thinly sliced bacon (streaky bacon), or you can substitute prosciutto or turkey bacon.
If food tends to stick to your air fryer, give the basket a quick brush with oil before adding the asparagus bundles. Try to avoid using aerosol sprays in your air fryer as these can damage the non-stick lining of the basket.
Cooking times will depend on the thickness of the asparagus.
