Description
This delicious appetizer combines the crunchiness of asparagus with the savory flavor of bacon, creating a perfect combination of textures and tastes.
Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 6 slices bacon
– Ground black pepper to taste (Optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Toss asparagus spears in olive oil and season with black pepper.
3. Divide asparagus into 6 bundles and wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon.
4. Place bundles on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Notes
– To add a kick of flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus before wrapping them in bacon.
