Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 bunches asparagus ends trimmed
- 6-8 slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Place the trimmed asparagus spears in a baking dish or tray so they can lay flat.
- Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Toss to combine and evenly distribute the seasonings.
- Wrap 5-6 spears of asparagus with one slice of bacon. Transfer the bundle to the rack or basket of the air fryer with the seam side of the bacon facing down.
- Repeat with remaining asparagus.
- Air fry at 400°F for 13-15 minutes until bacon is crispy and asparagus roasted and tender. Exact timing will depend on thickness of asparagus and bacon. Start checking the bundles around the 10 minute mark.
- Remove from air fryer and transfer to a plate. Best served immediately while hot and crispy.
