Roasted asparagus tossed with olive oil and coarse sea salt wrapped in bacon. Such a delicious and simple way to cook asparagus.

Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 30-40 Asparagus spears (approx. 1 lb depending on how thick they are)
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Wash and prepare asparagus by snapping off the ends (not the crowns) that look slightly pink or purple.
  3. Dry the asparagus spears and put them in a bowl with olive oil and sea salt. Toss to coat.
  4. Take 4 or 5 spears out and bundle them together by holding them tightly and wrapping a slice of bacon around them.
  5. Set them down on a non-greased cookie sheet or in a baking dish.
  6. Leave an inch or two between each bundle. I like to turn mine in alternate directions as I go. (See pictures.)
  7. Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, turning once after about 10-12 minutes of cooking time to help bacon crisp on all sides.
  8. Remove and serve while still warm.
  9. Enjoy!
