Instructions
 

  • Set your oven to 375 °F and lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet. Rinse and trim the asparagus, then spread them out on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Gently toss to coat evenly.
  • Separate the asparagus into 8 small bundles. Wrap each one with a slice of bacon, starting from the base and working your way up to the tips.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning the bundles halfway through. The bacon should be crisp and the asparagus tender when it’s ready to serve.

Notes

  • Wrap everything the night before and refrigerate. When it's time to cook, just pop it in the oven for a no-stress dish.
  • Sweeten things with maple or honey, sprinkle some parmesan, or finish with a splash of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
  • Using a wire rack on top of a baking sheet helps the bacon crisp evenly and keeps everything from sitting in grease.
  • Asparagus cooks fast, so pull it out once the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is still slightly firm.
Serve: Pair it with a dip like ranch, honey mustard, or spinach artichoke for extra flavor.  
Store: Store leftover bacon-wrapped asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a greased 375 F oven until warmed through. Avoid freezing, as the texture won't hold up.
