Description
Deliciously addictive maple bacon wrapped asparagus, combining savory and sweet flavors in a delightful appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Asparagus stalks
- 6 Strips Maple Bacon, cut in half lengthwise
- 1/2 Tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and get a large baking tray or dish ready.
- Slice your bacon strips in half lengthwise, resulting in two thin strips.
- Wrap each piece of asparagus with a thin strip of bacon and place it onto the baking dish. Lay each wrapped asparagus flat and avoid stacking them on top of each other.
- Once all your asparagus is laid flat on the baking tray, sprinkle garlic powder, brown sugar, and pepper evenly across all pieces.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for 35-45 minutes. Monitor the bacon closely and remove it once it reaches your desired doneness level.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For a lighter option, try using turkey bacon. You can also dip them in maple syrup before baking for extra sweetness.
