Steps:
- Wash and trim the ends of your asparagus.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Wrap one slice of bacon around one stalk of asparagus.
- Lay your bacon-wrapped asparagus in your air fryer. If possible lay the ends of your bacon down flat to help keep them from curling. Leave space between your stalks so the air can circulate around them. I tried to do my first batch with my thicker stalks and they cooked for 12 minutes. Then in my second batch, I cooked my thinner ones for 10 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are about the same thickness, so they cook evenly. Avoid spears that are too woody or thin.
- Trim the asparagus. Remove the tough ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.
- Wrap the asparagus in bacon tightly. This will help to keep the bacon from falling off during cooking.
- Use a cooking spray or brush the asparagus with olive oil. This will help to prevent the bacon from sticking to the air fryer basket.
- Cook the asparagus in a single layer. This will help to ensure that the asparagus cooks evenly.
- Flip the asparagus halfway through cooking. This will help to ensure that the bacon is evenly cooked on both sides.
- Serve the asparagus immediately. It is best when served hot and crispy.
