Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is a quick and easy side dish where crisp bacon wraps around bundles of tender-crisp asparagus. It's a tasty recipe that the whole family will love, ready in just 15 minutes!

Ingredients

1½ pounds thick asparagus woody ends trimmed
2 teaspoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6-8 slices center-cut more meat, less fat bacon - use regular to thin slices (not thick-cut)
Optional garnishes: fresh lemon and flaky sea salt to finish

Instructions

Place asparagus on a large rimmed pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Gather 4-5 pieces of asparagus and wrap a piece of bacon around the center. Secure with a toothpick, if needed.
Place bacon wrapped asparagus in the air fryer, in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary.
Cook at 375° F for 10-12 minutes, or until bacon is crisp and cooked through.
Enjoy hot. Offer fresh lemon and flaky sea salt to finish, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Bacon wrapped asparagus is best enjoyed immediately after it is prepared but you can keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the asparagus in the air fryer for a couple minutes to re-crisp the bacon.
