For the Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling it down.
- Place the wrapped spears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder for a hint of savory depth.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
- Optional: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus before serving for a cheesy twist.
Why This Recipe Works
Bacon’s rich, smoky flavor perfectly complements the fresh, earthy taste of asparagus. Roasting at high heat ensures the bacon crisps up beautifully while the asparagus stays tender. The sprinkle of garlic powder and Parmesan adds layers of flavor without extra effort.
