Ingredients
- 1½ pounds thick asparagus woody ends trimmed
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

- 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.
