Ingredients
1 pound medium asparagus
Extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
1 pound hickory smoked bacon (do not use thick cut)
Directions
Special equipment:
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes- Preheat your grill to medium-high direct heat.
- Trim the asparagus of the woody ends. Place on a sheet tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
- Wrap bacon slices around each asparagus spear. Skewer both ends of asparagus on each side to secure the bacon. Add 3 to 4 asparagus to each skewer.
- Grill skewers on direct heat until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crisp about 15 minutes; halfway through the grilling flip the asparagus. Transfer to a platter, remove the skewers and serve.
