Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making these visually appealing and delicious Asparagus Bacon Rolls! This dish is perfect as a late-night snack or a sophisticated appetizer to enjoy with wine. We promise a simple yet satisfying culinary experience!
Step 2
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for today’s recipe. Fresh asparagus, high-quality bacon, and flavorful teriyaki sauce! These simple components will come together to create a wonderful dish.
Step 3
First, trim about 2-3 cm from the tough ends of the asparagus. Then, cut the asparagus spears into pieces suitable for rolling with bacon – typically 2 or 3 pieces per spear, depending on their thickness. This will determine how large each roll becomes.
Step 4
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Once boiling, carefully add the prepared asparagus and blanch for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook, as you want to maintain its crisp texture! Immediately drain the asparagus and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat them thoroughly dry.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to wrap the blanched asparagus with bacon strips. Tightly roll the bacon around each asparagus piece, ensuring it’s secure. Placing the end of the bacon strip at the bottom will help prevent it from unraveling during cooking. Continue rolling each piece neatly.
Step 6
Arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus rolls in your air fryer basket. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Flipping them halfway through will ensure even cooking. (If using an oven, bake at 190°C / 375°F for about 15 minutes).
Step 7
Voila! Your perfectly cooked Asparagus Bacon Rolls are ready! A light brush of teriyaki sauce while they’re still warm enhances their flavor even further. These make a fantastic wine appetizer or a satisfying side dish. Enjoy your delicious creation!
