Don’t Overcrowd the Basket

“No overcrowding” is the rule you should live by when using your air fryer to cook pretty much any food, including bacon. Patience is key when it comes to using this kitchen tool, and you’ll have to perfectly arrange your bacon to avoid uneven cooking and consider preparing it in several batches.

Smoking Point

It’s a good idea to preheat your air fryer before using it and keep the temperature to 350F so it could reach the desired crispiness without burning down. You can also prevent smoking and burning by putting some water or a piece of bread under the air fryer’s basket to soak up excess grease.

Cooking Time

The cooking time of bacon varies from one air fryer to another, and it also depends on the thickness of the bacon. It shouldn’t take more than 8-9 minutes for regular bacon, while thicker slices will probably need 2-3 more minutes to reach their peak crispiness. You can always stop the air fryer halfway and check on your food if you’re still a beginner.

That’s the idea behind bacon-wrapped asparagus—one of the most crispy, most mouth-watering asparagus dishes you could possibly make. Bacon and asparagus are basically the only things you need for the recipe, because the list of additional ingredients only includes olive oil, salt and pepper, and additional garnishing.

Ingredients

• 200 g bacon
• 500 g asparagus
• salt and pepper
• olive oil

Instructions

1. While preheating the oven to 400F, wash your asparagus and trim the stems. Drizzle them with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Wrap thinly sliced bacon pieces around each asparagus stalk.
3. Bake in your oven for about 10 minutes on each side, using tongs to turn the wrapped asparagus over.
4. Once the bacon is crispy and asparagus is baked, take them out of the oven and let them cool down before serving them with garnishing of your choice.
