Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipe
Deliciously roasted asparagus wrapped in crispy bacon slices. This bacon wrapped asparagus is one of my favorite side dish recipes that pairs perfectly with tons of dishes. And cooked in only 20 minutes, too!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 12 fresh asparagus spears
- 6 pieces bacon (thinly sliced)
- S&P to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut the bacon in half, down the middle to create 12 strips. Then wrap the bacon around the spears. Place onto the pan with the bacon ends on the bottom. Salt and pepper.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until crisp.
Notes
Tip: If you use fully cooked bacon (I like the Costco kind), it will get crispier.
Variations:
- Drizzle a balsamic glaze over top before serving.
- Mix together 2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar and brush onto the bacon before baking.
