Prep Time5 mins
Cook Time8 mins
Course: Appetizer, Side Dish
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 People
Cost: $10

Ingredients

  • 1 Bunch Asparagus
  • 6-8 Pieces Bacon, cut in half
  • 1 Tbsp Grape seed Oil Can substitute olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Herb or Garlic Pepper Seasoning

Instructions

  • Using the Air Fryer functionality, preheat the Ninja Foodi Or Ninja Grill to 400 degrees. If you are using the Cook and Crisp insert, let that heat with the Ninja.
  • Trim asparagus to length that fits the fryer basket.
  • Mix the oil, brown sugar and seasoning together.
  • Coat the asparagus in the mixture.
  • Cut the bacon strips in half. And wrap one around each coated piece of asparagus.
  • Place in the Ninja. Cooking time varies depending on how crispy you want the bacon and how fatty the bacon is. 8-10 minutes minimum, but to crisp up fatty bacon it is closer to 12-14 minutes.

Notes

I find that I can wrap the asparagus so the two bacon ends are able to be laid to the bottom.  This way I do not have to mess with putting and and taking out toothpicks. 
Also sometimes I find that when using the Cook and Crisp insert in the Ninja Foodi that I have remove the asparagus on the top rack and cook the others for about a minute more.
