Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: Place 12 oz trimmed asparagus spears in air fryer basket. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Wrap each asparagus spear with one half of a bacon slice, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  4. Step 4: Arrange bacon-wrapped asparagus in air fryer basket without overlapping. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, shaking basket once halfway through, until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender-crisp.
