Ingredients- 4 strips of bacon (thicker cuts are great)
- 4 asparagus spears (choose spears of similar thickness)
- 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 tsp black pepper (adjust to your taste)
- 1 tsp dried basil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 250°C (approximately 480°F). If you don’t have an oven, pan-frying is a great alternative! The outer peel of asparagus can be a bit tough, so lightly shaving it with a vegetable peeler will result in a more tender bite.
Step 2
Take one strip of bacon and tightly wrap it around each prepared asparagus spear. Tip: Wrapping the bacon too loosely can cause it to separate during cooking, so ensure it’s wrapped snugly.
Step 3
To allow excess fat to drain, place a wire rack over an oven-safe baking sheet. Arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus spears on the rack. Lightly drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with black pepper and dried basil. Tip: The olive oil provides a light coating that helps the bacon crisp up beautifully and stay delicious throughout your party!
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. If using a pan, heat a little oil over medium-low heat and cook the rolls, turning occasionally, until all sides are nicely browned and crisp. I personally recommend pan-frying over microwaving for the best texture.
Step 5
You can adjust the cooking time slightly to achieve your desired level of crispiness – from extra crispy to slightly tender. And there you have it! A simple, delicious, and visually appealing party appetizer: Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus is ready to impress your guests!
