Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 8–12 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse the asparagus and pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with a half slice of bacon, starting at the base and spiraling up.
