Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Bundles




Source of Recipe


Rachael Ray


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 pounds asparagus spears, trimmed 4 to 5 inches long tips
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
A few grinds black pepper
4 slices center cut bacon or pancetta
Chopped chives or scallions, optional garnish



Recipe



Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the
asparagus with black 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 remaining ingredients.
To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes
until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12
minutes.
