Instructions

8 steps

Gather the ingredients.

Cut the bacon slices in half, creating 20 separate strips.

Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus. You may need to trim the spears slightly shorter, depending on the size of your air fryer. Make sure the spears will fit before proceeding.

Wrap a slice of bacon around each spear of asparagus, starting at one end and slightly overlapping as you wrap it around towards the other end.

Season the bacon wrapped spears with freshly ground black pepper.

Place the spears in the air fryer basket. Cook according the the manufacturer's directions of your appliance at 375 F for 8 minutes.

Turn the spears over and cook for 5 minutes more, or until the bacon is crisp.

Serve immediately. Repeat with additional asparagus as needed.
