Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?Yes! You can wrap the asparagus with bacon and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook! What if I don't have an air fryer?
You can cook this recipe on a grill or in the oven! It should take about 20-30 minutes depending on what cooking method you choose. Why don't you wrap the asparagus individually?
In my opinion bunching a few pieces together is a better ratio. Bacon has a very rich, salty flavor that balances well when using more than one piece of asparagus.
