Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Divide the asparagus stalks into 4 bundles. Tightly wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle.
- In a small bowl mix together the butter, garlic powder, brown sugar and pepper.
- Arrange the asparagus bundles on a baking sheet and drizzle the butter mixture over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Serve, sprinkled with parsley if desired.
Notes
- I find that thicker asparagus stalks work best here. If you use the thin ones, they may get mushy by the time the bacon cooks through.
- This recipe works best with regular cut bacon; thick cut bacon takes a lot longer to cook and you run the risk of your asparagus overcooking. Another option is to par-cook the bacon, then wrap the asparagus.
