Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 360°F (182°C) and then let it cook for 3-4 minutes without food.
  • For a more accurate cooking time, preheating the air fryer is highly recommended.
  • Use thin-cut bacon strips as they are easier to wrap around the asparagus and will cook more quickly.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the air fryer bacon wrapped asparagus recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
