Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Sharing is caring!

Eating more vegetables doesn’t have to be boring… and that’s why I LOVE Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus! These asparagus bundles are bursting with flavor, easy to make and are crispy and delicious!

Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables. I love it on the grill, sautéed and roasted in the oven. So, you can imagine my excitement when I put it in the air fryer! Viola! SO crunchy and good!

As if I didn’t love it enough already, I decided to up my vegetable game and wrap it in bacon. Because seriously… who doesn’t love bacon?!?

My boys all love bacon. So if I add bacon it’s a given that they are going to eat it and be really excited about it!

This is a simple recipe and only requires 2 ingredients.

• Bacon
• Asparagus

How do I make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus?

• Wash your asparagus.
• Cut off the woody ends of asparagus.
  TIP–> For this recipe make sure your asparagus fits in your air fryer before wrapping it in bacon.
• Bundle 2 asparagus spears and wrap one piece of bacon around each bundle.
• Place in air fryer. It will take you 2 batches to use an entire pound of bacon.
• Cook & Enjoy!

What kind of bacon should I use?

For this recipe I used center cut bacon.

I typically prefer turkey bacon but I do not know how well turkey bacon would work for this recipe. My suggestion is using a good quality center cut bacon with minimal fat.

If you don’t like veggies I encourage you to try them in your air fryer or roast them… I think it really enhances the flavor and makes them so good!

What goes well with asparagus?

• Salmon
• Steak
• Baked Chicken
• Eggs… leftover asparagus is great for breakfast!

If you don’t have an air fryer you can also roast asparagus. I enjoy this recipe! Don’t be afraid to prepare vegetables in a different way than usual, or to try a new-to-you vegetable.
