Cottage Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
This isn’t just your basic bacon wrapped asparagus. I’m not a fan of bundles of asparagus wrapped with a thin piece of bacon. I upped the meat to veggie ratio by using a single sheet of cottage bacon to wrap a single asparagus spear, parallel. Thicker asparagus spears work better than thin ones. They will only take 15 minutes in the oven for the bacon to cook through, still leaving the asparagus slightly al dente.
Equipment
- toothpicks
Ingredients
- 12 spears asparagus tough ends chopped off
- 12 slices cottage bacon thinly sliced
Instructions
- Wrap each spear of asparagus with a piece of cottage bacon, lengthwise. Secure in place with 2 toothpicks. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place on a rack on a baking pan lined in foil.
- Bake for 15 minutes until bacon is crispy.
