What You Need
Here’s what you’ll need to whip these up:
- 1 bunch of fresh asparagus: Look for the nice, green stalks.
- 8-10 slices of bacon: I like thick-cut for that extra crunch.
- Olive oil: Just a drizzle to give it a little flavor.
- Salt and pepper: A sprinkle of each to season them just right.
Let’s Get Cooking!
Alright, let’s get into it! Here’s how to make these delicious bites: Preheat your oven to about 400°F or around 200°C before you do anything else. This should save you some time later when dealing with the bacon.
Prep the Asparagus: Let’s first wash some asparagus and remove some of the dried tough ends. Just bend the stalk until it breaks which is quite convenient. How easy is that eh?
Wrap It Up: Cook the bacon first and have it halfway cooked, then take some and twist around an asparagus spear. It’s alright if there’s some green stalk, just don’t make it too much. If the bacon keeps popping off, you can always use a toothpick for support.
Season It: Grab those wrapped things and lay them gently whenever. Place a few dribbled olive oil onto them and a pinch of salt and black pepper. This is where the flavor magic happens! Do not forget the baking sheet which was quite crucial.
Bake Times: Remove the carton of the preheated oven and place the bake sheet as it begins to heat further. Wait for around 20-25 minutes until the bacon crispy out and asparagus gets tender. If you want here you can flip and turn it for even cooking.
Serve and Enjoy: Once a crisp texture on all dies if not rotating them, scoop them out of the oven and allow them to settle for a minute. After a minute or so then get in there and attack! It is best served hot but can be delicious at room temperature as well.
