Make simple, low-carb bacon wrapped asparagus bundles seasoned with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This recipe works well baked or air-fried for a quick keto side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 12 slices thin-cut bacon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears. Group the spears into 3 or 4 small bundles, about 5 to 7 spears per bundle.
  3. Wrap each bundle tightly with 3 slices of bacon, securing the bacon ends underneath the bundle.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the bacon-wrapped bundles.
  5. Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp. Cooking time depends on the thickness of your bacon and asparagus.
  7. Remove the bundles from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot bacon.
  8. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts slightly. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For air frying, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • If you prefer thicker bacon, increase the cooking time by 5 to 7 minutes.
  • You can substitute thin-cut prosciutto for bacon if desired.
