Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
Description
This recipe involves trimming fresh asparagus, seasoning it with cooking oil, salt, and pepper, and bundling stalks together wrapped in strips of bacon. Baking at 400°F crisps the bacon and cooks the asparagus until tender yet still with a slight bite.
The combination highlights the contrast between the crispy, smoky bacon exterior and the bright, vegetal flavor of the asparagus inside. The high oven heat promotes browning on the bacon without overcooking the vegetable.
The dish serves well as a side to meats or as part of a brunch spread. It can be served hot straight from the oven to enjoy the crisp bacon texture and the fresh taste of asparagus.
