Take each asparagus spear and wrap it with a slice of bacon. Start at the bottom and wrap it up to the tip, securing the bacon as you go.
If you have extra bacon left over, you can wrap a few more spears with it, or cut the bacon in half for smaller wraps.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
-
Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Arrange them so they don’t overlap for even cooking.
Bake:
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. The exact time may vary depending on the thickness of your bacon and asparagus.
-
If you want extra crispiness, you can broil them for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end, but keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Serve:
-
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two before serving.
Tips:
-
You can add a sprinkle of pepper or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor if you’d like, but this recipe keeps it simple with just bacon and asparagus.
-
For a slightly lighter version, use turkey bacon or any alternative of your choice.
Enjoy this simple, tasty, and savory side dish with your favorite main course! It’s perfect for dinner, holiday meals, or as a fun appetizer!
