Remove your bacon from the packaging and set it aside.
Prep your asparagus stalks by rinsing it off, patting it dry, and trimming the tough ends of the asparagus. You can do this by naturally snapping the ends off a few inches down at the bottom or use a knife to trim the ends.
Place the asparagus onto a sheet pan, drizzle with your olive oil and seasonings and toss it all together so everything is evenly coated.
Grab 3-4 pieces of asparagus and one piece of bacon. Wrap the thin slice of bacon around the asparagus bundle, leaving the bottom and top of the asparagus fully exposed.
Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees F. Be cautious of bacon grease and cooking your asparagus at too high of a temperature.
Place the bundles in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 6-7 minutes as needed.
Once your bacon is cooked, crispy, and the fat has rendered, remove the bundle and place them onto paper towels to temporarily soak up some of the grease.Serve them up as a delicious appetizers or side!

You can swap turkey bacon for regular bacon if you prefer.
