What kind of bacon should I use?

I used thick cut Applewood smoked bacon in this recipe. You may, however, use your favorite. You could easily use normal bacon for a crispier result. Just keep an eye on it because it will probably cook in less time.

What are some other asparagus variations?

For a delicious twist, add a splash of lemon juice and freshly grated parmesan cheese. To make with parmesan cheese, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the asparagus spears 5 minutes before the air fryer timer goes off.

Can I bake these bacon wrapped asparagus bundles?

Absolutely! If you don't have an air fryer, bake the asparagus for around 30 minutes at 400F degrees. Make certain. must use nonstick frying spray or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Do I need to spray the basket?

Before I put the asparagus in the basket, I lightly brush it. This prevents the asparagus and bacon from being stuck to the basket. However, only a small amount is required!
