Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

🧂 Ingredients

• 24 stalks Asparagus

  Thicker stalks work best
• 8 slices Bacon

  Thinner slices work best
• 2 tsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Smoky Paprika

Instructions

• 1 Remove your bacon from the packaging and set it aside.
• 2 Prep your asparagus stalks by rinsing it off, patting it dry, and trimming the
  tough ends of the asparagus. You can do this by naturally snapping the ends off
  a few inches down at the bottom or use a knife to trim the ends.
• 3 Place the asparagus onto a sheet pan, drizzle with your olive oil and seasonings
  and toss it all together so everything is evenly coated.
• 4 Grab 3-4 pieces of asparagus and one piece of bacon. Wrap the thin slice of
  bacon around the asparagus bundle, leaving the bottom and top of the asparagus
  fully exposed.
• 5 Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees F. Be cautious of bacon grease and cooking
  your asparagus at too high of a temperature.
• 6 Place the bundles in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook for 6-7
  minutes, then flip and cook an additional 6-7 minutes as needed.
• 7 Once your bacon is cooked, crispy, and the fat has rendered, remove the bundle
  and place them onto paper towels to temporarily soak up some of the grease.Serve
  them up as a delicious appetizers or side!
