This is such a simple, tasty recipe your friends are sure to enjoy. How can you go wrong with bacon and asparagus?! In case the bacon grease flamed too much, I cooked these in a "grill skillet." Then, I could easily remove them if I needed to.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 bunch asparagus, fresh
1 pkg thick sliced bacon

Steps:

  • 1. Spiral bacon around each piece of asparagus.
  • 2. Grill, turning carefully, until tender. DO NOT leave unattended because of the bacon fat drippings can catch fire! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus stalks: Thicker asparagus stalks can withstand the heat of the grill better and will be less likely to overcook.
  • Blanch the asparagus: Blanching the asparagus before grilling helps to tenderize it and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The quality of the bacon will greatly affect the flavor of the dish. Use a thick-cut bacon that is well-marbled.
  • Wrap the asparagus tightly with bacon: You want the bacon to be snug against the asparagus so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the bacon and asparagus quickly and evenly.
  • Cook the asparagus until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the asparagus and the heat of the grill.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled bacon-wrapped asparagus is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled bacon-wrapped asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to formal parties. With its smoky flavor and crispy texture, grilled bacon-wrapped asparagus is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
