Best Asparagus Recipes: Baked Bacon Wrapped Asparagus (+More Great Dishes!)

🧂 Ingredients

• 12 slices bacon

  (use normal bacon, not thick-cut slices)
• 24 stalks asparagus

  (approximately 1 bundle or 10 ounces - washed and ends trimmed)
• ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper

  (to taste)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with a piece of
  parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spray a wire cooling rack with non-stick
  cooking spray and place it on your prepared baking sheet.
• 2 Cut each of your bacon strips in half lengthwise so that you have nice, thin
  strips to wind around the asparagus spears.
• 3 Hold the end of your asparagus and wrap with bacon, winding down toward the tip
  of the spear. Place with the ends facing downward on your wire cooling rack.
  Repeat until all of the asparagus has been wrapped in bacon.
• 4 Season with salt and pepper then bake at 400°F (205°C) for 10-12 minutes. Turn
  each piece of asparagus using tongs, then continue cooking for 5-6 minutes.
• 5 Set the oven to broil on high to finish the bacon wrapped asparagus spears. Heat
  for 1-2 minutes then remove from the oven and serve immediately.
