Baconwrappedgarlicasparagusbundles Recipes

Steps:

• Saute garlic and parsley over low heat, then set aside to steep.
• Remove ends from asparagus that are tough.
• Lay 4 stalks of asparagus in the center of each strip of bacon and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Drizzle garlic oil over each bundle.
• Wrap bacon around the stalks and secure with a toothpick.
• Place asparagus bundles on baking sheet and bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until asparagus is tender and bacon is crisp.

Steps:

• Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the asparagus with black pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
• For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the asparagus spears into 12 bundles. Carefully wrap 1 piece of bacon around each bundle, starting about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the tips. Secure the bacon-wrapped spears with a toothpick. Lay the bundles in a low-sided casserole dish. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, garlic salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the asparagus bundles. Transfer the dish to the oven and roast until the spears have begun to wilt and the bacon looks fully cooked, about 25 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high direct heat.
• Trim the asparagus of the woody ends. Place on a sheet tray and drizzle with olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
• Wrap bacon slices around each asparagus spear. Skewer both ends of asparagus on each side to secure the bacon. Add 3 to 4 asparagus to each skewer.
• Grill skewers on direct heat until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crisp about 15 minutes; halfway through the grilling flip the asparagus. Transfer to a platter, remove the skewers and serve.

Steps:

• Wash asparagus and cut off the woody hard ends.
• Separate asparagus evenly to make 6 bundles.
• Place a slice of cheese in the middle of the bundle and wrap the bundle with bacon to "hide" the cheese and help hold it in when melted.
• Season with salt pepper and garlic powder.
• On a flat griddle or skillet (i like a electric griddle to control heat better).
• Cook bundles tuning a little at a time to make sure bacon is cooked all the way around.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide the asparagus spears into 8 bundles. Wrap each bundle in the middle of the spears with one piece of bacon. Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake until the bacon is fully cooked, about 25 minutes.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir. Cook until the mixture is golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the mustard powder, onion powder, nutmeg and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the milk a little at a time and continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted, then take off the heat.
• Carefully transfer the bacon bundles to a serving platter. Pour the cheese sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with the fried onions. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Shave 1 bunch trimmed jumbo asparagus into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Cook 2 chopped bacon slices and 1 sliced shallot in 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 8 minutes. Add the shaved asparagus and 1 teaspoon jarred chopped hot peppers. Cook until tender, 3 minutes. Stir in 3 cups baby spinach and cook until wilted, 1 minute. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Wrap bacon around 1-3 asparagus spears until you have wrapped all the spears and bacon.
• Bake at 350 until bacon is crisp, turn occasionally.
• OR.
• Place on high grill rack until bacon is crisp (**warning this tends to attract the neighbors!).

Steps:

• Cut 1/2 inch to 1 inch off the end of the asparagus.
• The asparagus should be at least 4 to 5 inches long.
• Toss the asparagus with olive oil- just enough to lightly coat and add a touch of salt and pepper (optional).
• Separate into bundles (approx. 4 to each bundle) and starting at bottom of asparagus bundle, wrap with 1 slice of uncooked bacon.
• Repeat with the rest.
• Place on broiling pan and bake at 500 degrees for 5 minutes, turn them over and bake another 5 minutes.
• Reduce oven to 350 degrees and bake for 15- 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Wash and trim asparagus spears.
• Cut bacon strips in half crosswise.
• Wrap one-half strip bacon around each asparagus spear, leaving tip and end exposed.
• Lay on a cookie sheet with sides.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bacon is cooked.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• **Note: You may want to try my Baked Bacon recipe #187790 for 10 minutes, to avoid over cooking asparagus.

Steps:

• Place asparagus in a large bowl. Pour olive oil over spears and coat each one. Wrap 2 to 3 spears with 1 slice of bacon. Repeat with remaining asparagus and bacon.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill asparagus until bacon is crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Season with pepper.

Steps:

• On a baking sheet covered in foil, put 6 slices of bacon. Put sheet in cold oven, then turn on preheat to 400. Allow bacon to slowly cook for about 10-12 minutes. It should still be rather rare but partially cooked. Take it out and put it aside. Important: KEEP THE FOIL, do not throw it away - see below.
• Meanwhile, put the other ingredients including asparagus into a gallon size ziplock bag and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Wrap 4-5 stalks of asparagus about halfway down with the bacon. Place seamside down on the same foil and sheet you cooked the bacon on (right on the bacon grease spots). Cook for 10-20 minutes at 400 degrees, depending on how tender you want your asparagus (I like super tender at 20 minutes).
