Ingredients

  • 20 stalks asparagus trimmed
  • 10 slices bacon classic cut
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Begin by rinsing the asparagus spears in cold water. Then pat them dry thoroughly.
  • Now trim the ends of the asparagus and discard the ends. Those ends are very stringy and hard to chew. Then drizzle a teaspoon of avocado oil over them and season with salt and pepper to taste. Use your hands to coat them in the oil and spices.
  • Now take out 10 slices of classic bacon and cut them each in half lengthwise. I usually do this with kitchen shears.
  • Begin wrapping each strip of cut bacon around the asparagus. Try to wrap them as tightly as possible.
  • Now line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  • Then place the bacon-wrapped asparagus (seam side down) onto the wire rack. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Then use tongs to flip the asparagus over and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Then turn the oven on broil and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes
