Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

These bundles can be easily prepared on an outdoor grill or in a hot oven.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 to 1 1/4 pounds asparagus tips, 4 to 5 inches long
Extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 slices center-cut bacon or pancetta
Chopped fresh chives or scallions, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven, if using, to 400°F. or preheat an outdoor grill.

    Step 2

    Lightly coat the asparagus spears in EVOO. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

    Step 3

    To grill, place the bundles on the hot grill and cover. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes over indirect heat until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus bundles are tender.

    Step 4

    For oven preparation, place the bundles on a slotted broiler pan. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus bundles are tender.

    Step 5

    Sprinkle with the chopped chives and serve.
