Calories 140kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds asparagus spears about 24-36 spears, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8-9 strips bacon center cut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/205°C, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the asparagus on the baking sheet, drizzle with melted butter and season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Toss until the asparagus is well coated.
- Hold every 4 or 5 asparagus spears in a bundle (depending on the thickness, you can do 3), and wrap each bundle in a strip of bacon. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Arrange on the baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is almost crispy.
Notes
- Butter can be subbed with olive oil.
- Don’t use thick-cut bacon as it takes too long to cook, and you can risk burning the asparagus.
