Asparagus.
Bacon.
Those are the only 2 ingredients you need to make this super awesome oven baked bacon wrapped asparagus recipe.
One of my easiest recipes ever.
The key to this recipe is making sure your bacon gets nice and crisp, and the best way to do that is in the oven.
I also recommend lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil and placing a baking rack on top. The rack will help keep the bacon from sitting in its own liquid, which can hinder the crisping process.
Plus, then you have all that delicious bacon fat that I LOVE to cook with. Don’t throw that stuff away, it’s gold!!!
Keep those two tips in mind, and you’ll have some nice crisp bacon, I promise!

How to Make Oven Baked Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Preheat the oven to 36 degrees. Trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of each stalk. This should eliminate the stringy, tough portion of the asparagus. Wrap one piece of bacon around 3-5 stalks of asparagus.
Continue until all asparagus is wrapped in bacon.
Place on a rack on a baking sheet and cook for 15 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for 15 minutes on the other side. Add additional time if you would like your bacon crispier, however, be sure not to overcook the asparagus.

Since I always have thick sliced bacon for breakfast, that is what I used. It was still great but I think that thin sliced bacon could maybe be better because the bacon would cook better. Also, I think I will try to find thicker asparagus. It was very good.
I’m glad you liked it! The thin slices does crisp up better in the oven.
oh look at those cute little bundles! Now I am in the mood for some asparagus!
LOL right?
