Key Ingredients
- 1 pack Bacon (approx. 10-12 strips)
- 10 stalks Fresh Asparagus
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start making the crispy outside, tender inside, and flavorful ‘Asparagus Bacon Rolls’! They are incredibly simple yet taste amazing!
Step 2
First, prepare the fresh asparagus. Using a peeler or a vegetable cutter, thinly peel the tough fibrous ends of the asparagus. Wash them thoroughly and pat them dry.
Step 3
To ensure a convenient bite-size, cut the prepared asparagus spears roughly in half. (Adjust the length so they aren’t too long).
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the asparagus for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become mushy. Immediately rinse the blanched asparagus under cold water to stop the cooking process, then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps maintain the asparagus’s fresh crispness and vibrant color.
Step 5
Now for the rolling! Take one strip of bacon and place a blanched, dried asparagus spear on it. Roll the bacon tightly around the asparagus, ensuring there are no gaps. Secure the end of the bacon to keep it from unraveling.
Step 6
Place the rolled asparagus bacon rolls on a sheet of parchment paper. Cook them in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the quantity of ingredients. Keep an eye on them to ensure the bacon becomes golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Voila! The delicious aroma fills the air… Your ‘Asparagus Bacon Rolls’ are ready, boasting a crispy golden exterior and fresh, tender asparagus inside. They taste best when served warm. For an extra flavor boost, drizzle a little teriyaki sauce over them. Enjoy these as an elegant appetizer or a satisfying side dish!
