Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Garlic Asparagus Bundles

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh Parsley
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Fresh Asparagus
  • 6 slices bacon
  • Salt And Black Pepper

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Garlic Asparagus Bundles

  1. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and finely chop 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley. Sauté garlic and parsley in 1/4 cup olive oil over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let steep for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Snap off the tough bottom ends of 1 pound of asparagus.
  3. Lay 4 asparagus spears in the center of each of 6 slices of bacon. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Drizzle each asparagus bundle generously with the garlic-infused olive oil.
  5. Wrap bacon around the asparagus stalks, securing with a toothpick.
  6. Place asparagus bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until asparagus is tender and bacon is crispy.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
