Ingredients

  • 1 lb. asparagus trimmed, washed, and patted dry
  • 4 slices Bacon cut in half
  • 2 oz. soft goat cheese (chevre)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Mix asparagus with olive oil (1 tablespoon), salt, and pepper on the rimmed baking sheet.
  3. Divide the asparagus into 8 equal portions.
  4. Wrap each portion in 1/2 piece of bacon and arrange spaced apart on prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 30 minutes, or until bacon is beginning to brown and asparagus is getting crispy.
  6. While it's cooking, put the goat cheese in the freezer so it's easier to crumble. Use the tines of a fork to twist crumbles off the goat cheese.
  7. Transfer asparagus bundles to a serving plate and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.
