2 Videos | Photo: Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles Recipe
These bundles can be easily prepared on an outdoor grill or in a hot oven.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds asparagus spears, trimmed 4 to 5 inches long tips
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- A few grinds black pepper
- 4 slices center cut bacon or pancetta
- Chopped chives or scallions, optional garnish
Directions
Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the asparagus with black pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12 minutes.

I did this for Easter dinner and everyone loved it. I did steam the asparagus for about 15 minutes before I started to make sure it was well cooked.

The recipe was delicious as is, but since I'm from Wisconsin, I felt compelled to add some more calories to an otherwise healthy vegetable. I sprinkled a pinch of brown sugar on top the bacon during the last three minutes of cooking time. Amazeballs!
