Yield Makes 10 bundles and about 1/2 cup sauce

Number Of Ingredients 8

30 medium asparagus stalks, trimmed
10 slices peppered bacon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Sriracha (Asian chili sauce)
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Separate asparagus into bundles of 3 stalks each. Carefully wrap a piece of bacon around each bundle, starting about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the tip; secure with a toothpick. Transfer bundles to a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Roast, flipping halfway through, until asparagus begin to wilt and bacon is brown, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, chili sauce, lime juice, cilantro, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl; season with pepper. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 week.
  • Transfer bundles to a platter; remove toothpicks. Serve with dipping sauce.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. The bacon-wrapped asparagus was delicious, but the spicy dipping sauce was a bit too much for me. I would recommend using a milder sauce if you're not a fan of spicy food.
