Instructions

  1. Step 1: Trim asparagus ends, then cut each bacon slice in half lengthwise. Wrap two asparagus spears with one bacon half, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  2. Step 2: Place bacon-wrapped asparagus in the air fryer basket. Lightly drizzle with 1/2 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tbsp grated Parmesan and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket gently after 5 minutes. Continue until bacon is crisp and edges are slightly browned, about 10 minutes total.
