Ingredients

  • 18 fresh asparagus spears trimmed

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Group asparagus into bundles of three spears each.
  • Wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle and place them seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Brush bundles with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bacon is golden and crispy.

  • Air Fryer Option: Air fry at 200°C/400°F for 7-8 minutes until crispy.
  • For a sweet twist, drizzle with melted butter and a touch of honey or brown sugar before baking.

  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
