BACON WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
Ingredients
- 24 stalks asparagus, trimmed
- 12 slices bacon
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Garlic salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a non-stick, oven-safe wire rack on to a cookie sheet. Trim asparagus to get rid of woody ends. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt and black pepper, to taste. Cut the bacon slices lengthwise to make narrower strips. Wrap each bacon strip tightly around an asparagus stalk, only slightly overlapping the bacon on each stalk. Place seam side down onto the wire rack. Bake for 10 minutes. Turnover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the bacon is about crispy. Set the oven to broil, then place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until crispy
