Servings 4 spears asparagus per person

Equipment

  • Barbeque or grill

Ingredients
  

  • asparagus 4 spears per person
  • bacon, thinly sliced 4 slices per person

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to 350°F degrees. 
  • Trim the tough ends from asparagus spears.
  • If your asparagus spears are thick, lightly steam asparagus in the microwave until warmed through but not soft. Allow them to cool until you can handle them.
  • Wrap each spear with one slice of bacon. You can opt for half a slice per spear; it’s still wonderful and a little more budget friendly. 
  • Using long bamboo skewers, assemble wrapped spears into “rafts” to keep them from falling through the grill grates and make them easier to turn. 
  • Place on grill and cook until bacon is crisp. 

OVEN DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 350°F degrees.
  • You can follow the instructions as written using your broiler rather than the BBQ. The asparagus is semi-cooked already so you’re just cooking the bacon.
  • Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. If the bacon looks anemic, use the broiler to crisp and brown the bacon.
