The maple bacon paired up with cracked black pepper and sea salt makes this sweet and savory dish a winner in my book! A side that looks fancy, but is soooo easy. Enjoy roasted in the oven {as shown} or grilled!
Trim the bottoms of your asparagus so they are even with one another {about 1-2 inches} and rinse. Bundle 5-6 together, wrap tightly with one piece of uncooked maple bacon -seal with a toothpick.
Line up bundles in a foiled lined 9×13 baking pan {I would steer away from a cookie sheet because the bacon juices will run off}.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and sea salt. Roast in a 400 oven for 15 mins {turning in between} until browned. If you would prefer, you can grill 5 mins on each side until bacon is cooked and crispy.
- 2 lbs Asparagus
- 1 package of Maple Bacon

- Trim Asparagus ends so that they are all even with one another {about 1-2 inches off}. Rinse
- Bundle 5-6 asparagus, wrap tightly with maple bacon, seal with a toothpick.
- Place all bundles in a foil lined 9×13.

- Roast for 7 mins, turn and roast an additional 7 mins until bacon is cooked through.
Looks wonderful! Thanks
Looks delicious! I’ve had prosciutto wrapped asparagus before and it was pretty good. I think I would like bacon much better though!
This is a family favorite, but we cook it on the griddle.
Yummy, perfect for a low carb diet.
Tried this tonight & loved it! When I asked my hubby whether he liked it, he didn’t even stop eating long enough to answer me! He just nodded, smiled & said a big “mhmmm!”.
Thanks Janelle! 🙂
My question might be stupid 🙂 ! But are the asparagus already cooked (like canned asparagus) or are they fresh raw asparagus ? Thanks for your answer
