These bacon wrapped asparagus bundles with garlic aioli make for the most perfect spring time side dish! This recipe is super easy and quick. Plus, who doesn’t love bacon added to their vegetables?
Ingredients:
For the asparagus-
- Asparagus- Main ingredient 🙂
- Bacon-I love Butcher Box! You can use my code HERE and get a free few pounds of meat in your first order.
- Avocado oil-For the asparagus.
- Sea salt and garlic-To season the asparagus.
For the aioli:
- Avocado mayonnaise-This is what makes this aioli paleo. This mayonnaise is made with avocado oil instead of canola oil which makes it a lot better for us.
- Dijon mustard-Adds a nice kick.
- Lemon juice-This is what differentiates an aioli from mayo alone. The lemon juice!
- Fresh garlic-The fresh garlic combined with the lemon juice is DELICIOUS!
How to make:
For the asparagus:
- First, preheat the oven to 400 and wash your asparagus.
- Next, chop the bottom of the asparagus. This is about 1 inch.
- Rub and mix the asparagus with the oil, garlic, and salt.
- Pair the asparagus into 5 pieces stacks.
- Now, wrap one piece of bacon around the asparagus and lay on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for an additional 15 minutes
- Remove from the oven.
For the aioli:
- Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk!
How should I serve this?
- Drizzle the aioli on top. Garnish with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs if desired.
What should I serve this with?
- So many things! But a few of my favorites are: AIP crispy crack chicken, paleo chicken tenders, and paleo meatloaf muffins.
Can I make bacon wrapped asparagus in the air fryer?
- Absolutely! You will make the asparagus the same exact way, except you will need to cut the asparagus to fit in the air fryer. Be sure to use the metal piece that props the food up so air gets in on both sides.

I absolutely loved this recipe. The bacon and asparagus was cooked perfectly. My son who doesn’t even eat asparagus ate this and loved it. Would definitely be making for many future recipes.
Yay! This makes me happy to hear!
