Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper plus more for seasoning
- 8 lices thick-cut bacon
- 1 pound asparagus trimmed to 7-inch long spears
- kosher salt as needed for seasoning
Instructions
- Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place 5 slices of bacon spaced evenly apart on the pan.
- Roast until the bacon just begins to shrink and turns a slightly red color, but is still flexible, about 5 minutes, depending on thickness. The bacon should not be completely crispy, otherwise, it will break when wrapping around the asparagus.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic slat, and black pepper.
- Remove the bacon from the oven and brush with the maple syrup mixture on both sides. Roast the bacon for 3 more minutes.
- Allow the bacon to cool until it’s easy to handle with your fingers. Divide the asparagus into five even-size bundles.
- On a cutting board, wrap one slice of the par-cooked bacon overlapping over the length of the asparagus spears.
- Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Carefully place the bundles on the baking rack. Generously brush the maple syrup mixture over the bacon-wrapped asparagus spears on both sides.
- Lightly season each bundle with salt and pepper.
- Roast the asparagus bundles for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and brush the maple mixture over just the bacon.
- Roast for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and crispy, and the asparagus is tender.
- Remove the toothpicks and serve the bacon wrapped asparagus hot.
