Recipe
Ingredients
1 pound Asparagus
1 pound Bacon
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
Salt & Pepper
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare the asparagus rinsing them in a sink colander.
2. Secondly, spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
3. Thirdly, open the package of bacon.
4. Then, pick up one slice of bacon and three pieces of asparagus.
5. Start wrapping the bacon at the base of the asparagus and, while rotating the asparagus, wrap the bacon around them until you get to the end of your slice.
6. Finally, set your bacon wrapped asparagus, with the seams down, on the baking sheet.
7. Then season the wedges and asparagus bundles with salt, pepper and garlic powder if desired. For example, the larger pan had those seasonings and the smaller pan I added a sprinkle of chili powder for more of a kick of flavor.
8. Bake at 400 degrees until bacon is cooked. Flip asparagus halfway so each side can get cooked, around 35-50 minutes.
9. Turn on the broil setting and then place the baking sheet in the oven for 2-3 minutes to finish off the bacon. This should be done when the bacon is already cooked, just as an added crispiness.
Just make sure to keep a watch on your baking sheets while they are under the broiler, so they do not burn. Keep the rack in the middle of your oven and not too close to the burner.
