Bacon wrapped asparagus
In season asparagus wrapped in thin, crispy bacon. If you have very skinny asparagus spears bundle up 3 or 4 together with one piece of bacon. Perfect for sharing.
- 1 pack streaky bacon
- 16 asparagus, woody stems snapped off
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and season with black pepper
Cut the bacon in half lengthways so you have 16 pieces. Carefully wrap a piece of bacon around an asparagus spear in a spiral. Repeat until you have 16 bacon-wrapped asparagus spears.
Place spears on a wire rack over a lipped baking sheet. Bake until bacon is crispy, 20 minutes. Flip halfway through.
If you are using an Air Fryer – arrange spears in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
