Notes
You can make as many as you like if you keep the ratio of 2 asparagus stalks for each slice of bacon. You can also make a bandle with one bacon slice.
Use thinly sliced bacon. The thinner the bacon pieces are, the faster they’ll cook, getting crispy without overcooking the asparagus.
Bring the bacon to room temperature, and the asparagus keep in the fridge before wrapping them.; This will help with making sure they cook correctly without over-cooking or undercooking one of them.
Use a toothpick to secure the wrapped bacon if needed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days and reheat in the air fryer.
