Set the air fryer temperature to: 180°C / 350-375°F Note 2
Asparagus: start by removing the elastic bands from the asparagus and then placing them onto a clean chopping board. Use a knife to cut trim the asparagus at the base end. Then rinse and pat dry with paper towel.
Season: sprinkle the salt and pepper over the asparagus to season them.
Bacon: working one stalk of asparagus at a time wrap one piece of the streaky bacon around it starting from the top ending at the base. Repeat until each asparagus is wrapped in bacon.
Air Fryer: transfer the bacon wrapped asparagus to the greased air fryer racks or oiled basket. Cook the asparagus for 8 - 10 minutes.
To serve: transfer the cooked bacon wrapped asparagus to a serving platter and pair with lemon wedges, parsley and lemon yogurt sauce to serve.

Note 1 - Bacon: streaky bacon or thin cut bacon is best to use for this recipe. Thick bacon doesn't wrap as easily and unfolds too much.
Note 2 - Lemon Yogurt Sauce: this is an optional serving suggestion. You can find the recipe for it here 😉👌.
Note 3 - Air fryer temperature: I don't use any of the set buttons on the air fryer. For example 'chips', 'pizza' or wedges'. I use the appliance like it is an oven and set the cook temperature to what I want it to be. In this case, I don't preheat the air fryer and I use this temperature setting: 180°C / 350-375°F .
