Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Pd Asparagus
- 8 Slices of Bacon
- ⅓ Cup Brown Sugar
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- You want to start by rinsing the asparagus thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or sand from both the stalks and tips.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- To remove the tough, woody ends of the asparagus, gently bend them a few inches from the stem end. They will naturally break at the right spot. Discard the stems.
- Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise. Take a piece of bacon and wrap it around the asparagus, making sure to overlap the bacon. Secure with a toothpick at the bottom. Continue until all the asparagus is wrapped in bacon.
- In a shallow pan, add the brown sugar. Coat the bacon-wrapped asparagus in the brown sugar. Make sure each is completely coated.
- Place the asparagus on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately, enjoy!
Notes
- We found it easier to use a toothpick to secure the end of the bacon to the stem. You don't want to put the toothpick all the way through the asparagus, just halfway.
- Depending on the thickness of the asparagus, you may need to adjust the cooking time a little bit.
- You can also set the asparagus under the broiler for 1-2 minutes if you want to crisp up the bacon even more.
- We recommend making and eating these the same day. If you have to reheat the asparagus, do so in the air fryer at 390 degrees for 2-3 minutes.
