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.

This was really good. All I had on hand was the pre cooked bacon that you still need to crisp up in the microwave, so I parboiled the asparagus for less then a minute before wrapping and then baked as normal. There is only two us us now so I tried to freeze 4 serving parboiled with the bacon wrap. Hope it tastes as good but I doubt it

I thought this was a solid starter recipe, but it could certainly use an extra punch. I like highly-flavored food, so I added a bit more salt and some cayenne. I also used thick-cut pepper bacon, which was AMAZING; however, if you choose to do this, the cooking time will be more like 20 minutes in the oven. Yum!
