Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 pound thin-cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise to create thinner strips.
- Wrap one thin strip of bacon around each asparagus spear.
- Place the wrapped asparagus tightly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crisp bacon wrap!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, consider finishing the asparagus under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Use thin-cut bacon; thick-cut bacon may not crisp up fully by the time the asparagus is cooked.
- If your asparagus spears are very thick, you may need a slightly longer cooking time.
