Ingredients

  • 30 spears of asparagus about 1 bundle from the store
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 4 to 6 strips of bacon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350 D degrees.
  • Rinse your asparagus well and break off the woody part of each of the asparagus spears.
  • Place asparagus in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste) and toss to combine.
  • Separate the asparagus spears into 4 to 6 even bundles. Wrap the bottom of each bundle of asparagus with a strip of bacon. You can use a half strip of bacon if you prefer.
  • Place the asparagus bundles in the air fryer and cook for 8 to 12 minutes depending on the size of your spears and bundles. Look for the bacon start to crisp up and the spears to become tender.
