🥘 Ingredients
Vegetable
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus (woody ends trimmed)
Protein
  • 8 slices thin-cut bacon (not thick-cut)
Oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
Spice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
Garnish
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
📝 Instructions
  1. Group asparagus into 8 bundles of 3-4 spears each. Choose spears of similar thickness. Shared 💡 Similar thickness = even cooking throughout.
  2. Drizzle bundles with olive oil. Season with garlic powder and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Shared 💡 Seasoning before wrapping ensures flavor penetrates.
  3. Wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle in a spiral, tucking ends underneath. Shared 💡 Wrap snugly — bacon shrinks as it cooks.
  4. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 380°F. Place bundles in pan bacon seam-side down. Shared 💡 Seam-side down prevents unwrapping.
  5. Cook at 380°F for 10-12 minutes until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender-crisp. Top Oven 💡 If bacon not fully crispy after 12 min, cook 1-2 more min at 390°F.
  6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with Parmesan before serving. Shared 💡 The sweet-tangy glaze balances the smoky bacon.
💡 Ninja Tips

Use ONLY thin bacon — thick-cut will not crisp before asparagus overcooks. Trim woody ends — bend each spear until it snaps naturally.

Scaling: Double: Two batches. Half: 1/2 lb asparagus; 4 bundles.
