Ingredients Needed For Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
This delicious recipe for the Best Air Fryer Wrapped Bacon Asparagus only requires a few ingredients in your air fryer!
- Fresh Asparagus: Look for firm asparagus. Otherwise, you will end up with a thin plate of asparagus.
- Bacon: You can use bacon, turkey bacon, or candied bacon for this recipe.
How To Make Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Start by wrapping the bacon around the stalk of asparagus. Repeat until you run out of bacon or asparagus. Set the temperature to 390 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 9 to 12 minutes.
Pro Tips:
- Bacon: Use center-cut bacon or thinly sliced bacon to crisp up better in the air fryer.
- Crowding: Let the air fryer crips up the bacon. Do not crowd your air fryer basket. Remember, an air fryer works by hot air circulating the air fryer. When you crowd your air fryer, parts of the food will be uncooked or raw. For best results, leave plenty of room around the asparagus.
- What Air Fryer To Use? This recipe will work in an air fryer, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Crisp, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and other air fryer baskets and air fryer oven models.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What Kind Of Bacon Should I Use?
Today, I used center-cut bacon. You can use whatever brand you and your family love. I would use either center-cut bacon or regular-cut bacon. This way, both the asparagus and the bacon cook up simultaneously. If you use thinner bacon or turkey bacon, it will take a couple of minutes less.
What Are Some Other Asparagus Variations:
While today, I gave you a classic recipe for Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Asparagus. There are so many ways to dress them up.
Some great sauces and additions are:

What Is Asparagus A Good Side For?

This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored for later reheating. A great and easy way to make these again is to let them cool to room temperature and then place them into a freezer bag or air-tight container.
Then reheat them in the air fryer and reheat until warmed up. To help re-crisp the bacon spray with cooking spray.
