How To Make bacon wrapped asparagus bundles

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the asparagus with black pepper salt and garlic. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with remaining ingredients. For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12 - 15 minutes.
  • Step 2
    To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
