ASPARAGUS BUNDLES RECIPE







Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus spears (about 40 spears)
  • 8-10 slices regular (or thin) cut bacon


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  • Wrap one piece of bacon around 3-4 stalks of asparagus.  Continue until all asparagus is wrapped in bacon.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place a baking rack on top.
  • Place the asparagus on the rack on a baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes on each side (20 minutes total).

Expert Tips:

  1. Be sure to use regular or thin cut bacon, not thick cut. Thick cut will take too long to cook and you will end up with soggy bacon;
  2. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Save the bacon fat in a sealable container when the asparagus is done cooking.
  3. If your bacon is not crisp enough, pop it under the broiler for a couple minutes - just be sure it doesn't burn!
  4. To make it ahead of time, wrap all your asparagus with bacon and store in a covered container in the fridge overnight. Cook according to the instructions when ready.
