Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- 4 slices thick cut bacon
- olive oil
- Favorite Seasoning - I use Zatarain's Big & Zesty Garlic & Herb Creole Seasoning
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 400 F
- Wash and dry the asparagus spears, snap them at their natural breaking point and lay the tops out on a dish.
- Drizzle with olive oil and seasonings, toss to fully coat.
- Separate the spears into bundles of 10 - 12 spears, I can usually get 4 bundles out of a bunch.
- Beginning at the bottom of the bundle, tightly wrap a slice of bacon all the way up the bundle.
- Once the bundles are complete, place them in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the spears are cooked to your liking - the timing will depend upon the thickness of the spears and how you like your asparagus cooked.
Notes
You could sweeten these by using a maple cured bacon, or add an extra snap by wrapping them with a peppered bacon. These are delicious hot or cold, and are simply delicious all by themselves or with a dipping sauce.
These can be done on the grill, too. You'd have to pay more attention to them, though and turn them so that they cook thoroughly on all sides.
