Bacon Wrapped Asparagus (Side or Appetizer)
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients
- bacon slices
- fresh asparagus
- brown sugar
- cracked black pepper
Instructions
Prepare Asparagus (Have in mind how many you want, these will determine how many to prepare.)
- Hold both ends of each fresh asparagus and bend to the point where it snaps. Throw away the hard tough bottom end of the asparagus. Keep the tip & middle portion of the asparagus. Rinse asparagus under water.
- Place asparagus in a large pot of salted water and cook (blanch) for 2 minutes. Remove asparagus to a colander and run cold water over the asparagus to stop the cooking process and to cool down the asparagus. Pat dry with paper towels.
Preparing the bacon wrapped asparagus.
- Lay out a piece of uncooked bacon on your work surface. Place the big end of a prepared asparagus on one end of bacon. Roll the bacon around the asparagus all the way to the tip.NOTE: if you have thin asparagus you can wrap more than one with the bacon.
- Place the wrapped asparagus onto a sheet pan that has a lip edging around the pan to keep the bacon grease from rolling off of pan. Prepare the rest of your bacon wrapped asparagus.
- Sprinkle brown sugar on the tops of the bacon wrapped asparagus. Crack black pepper on top of the brown sugar.
- Place in pan in preheated 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes. It will depend on how crisp you want your bacon. Keep an eye on it.
