Here’s a simple, flavorful way to make bacon-wrapped asparagus—crispy, savory, and perfect as a side or appetizer:
🥓 Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 12–15 spears)
- 6–8 slices bacon (thin or regular)
- 1–2 tsp olive oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, lemon zest, or parmesan
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Prepare asparagus
- Trim the tough ends (about 1–2 inches from the bottom).
- Toss lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper if desired.
- Wrap with bacon
- Take 1 slice of bacon and wrap it around 2–3 asparagus spears.
- Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Bake
- Arrange bundles on the baking sheet.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender.
- Flip halfway for even crisping.
- Optional finishing touches
- Sprinkle garlic powder, lemon zest, or grated parmesan on top before serving.
🔥 Tips
- Use thin bacon for faster cooking and crispiness.
- Roast until bacon is crispy but asparagus is still tender—not mushy.
- Can also grill bacon-wrapped asparagus for a smoky flavor.
If you want, I can give a keto-friendly glaze or dipping sauce that pairs perfectly with these bundles.
