Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat Oven or Grill

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or preheat your grill to medium-high heat if grilling.

2
Prepare Asparagus

Wash the asparagus spears and trim off the tough ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

3
Season Asparagus

Toss the asparagus spears in olive oil and season with black pepper (and salt if using). Ensure the spears are evenly coated.

4
Wrap with Bacon

Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Wrap each half slice of bacon tightly around an asparagus spear. If necessary, you can secure the bacon with a toothpick.

5
Cook

If baking, arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. If grilling, place the bacon-wrapped asparagus directly on the grill, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.

6
Serve

Remove the bacon-wrapped asparagus from the oven or grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this delicious and elegant dish as a side or appetizer.
