It is a delicious and quick snack made from juicy fresh asparagus and bacon. Each Asparagus stem is wrapped in a thin slice of bacon and then air fried. It turns out very unusual (eye-catching), appetizing, and tasty. I cook it quite often. As an appetizer for a festive table, and as entertainment at a picnic. Delicious hot or chilled. Storage is reheating is easy peasy.

Air Fryer Bacon wrapped asparagus

Ingredients:
12 Asparagus pieces, trimmed
12 slices of bacon, center-cut or thin cut
1 tsp Olive oil (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic salt (optional)
1/4 tsp black pepperNote: Oil and seasoning are optional. since bacon is already salty and seasoned,  I did not use any salt, pepper, or seasoning for this recipe. I cooked Bacon-wrapped asparagus in the air fryer many times and found that no oil is really needed.

How to wrap asparagus in bacon

Directions:
Rinse asparagus and pat dry
Trim each asparagus by snapping 3/4 to 1 inch off the end
Drizzle asparagus with oil and sprinkle with your seasoning. Use your fingers or a silicone food brush to coat asparagus evenly.
Wrap the bacon strip tightly around the asparagus stalk. 
Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus on the air fryer basket or tray. Spread them out, give them some space, so they do not overlap.
Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 6 minutes. Then open your air fryer, flip each asparagus piece on the other side, and fry for an additional 3-4 minutes or until asparagus has lightly browned tips and bacon is cooked through and crispy.
