Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 8 slices thin-cut bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus spears with olive oil, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a bowl.
- Divide the asparagus into 4 equal bundles.
- Wrap each bundle tightly with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends.
- Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- For crispier bacon, you can briefly switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer an air fryer, cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Use thick-cut bacon if you prefer chewier bacon, but increase the cooking time by 5-7 minutes.
