Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 12 slices Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and dry the asparagus. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears by snapping them off or cutting with a knife.
Step 3
Place the asparagus in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss well to coat the asparagus evenly.
Step 4
Take a slice of bacon and starting from just below the tip, wrap it tightly around 2-3 asparagus spears, spiraling down to the other end. Repeat with remaining bacon and asparagus.
Step 5
Arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Step 7
If desired, for extra crispy bacon, turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
