Oven Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipes

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:

• 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. 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:

• 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).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.
• Toast bread in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but still pliable, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus in hot butter under tender, about 5 minutes. Cut asparagus into pieces that will fit the bread slices. Season with garlic salt; wrap with bacon slices.
• Arrange bacon-wrapped asparagus on toasted bread slices. Cover with mozzarella cheese slices. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line 18x13-inch rimmed pan with foil. Place large rack in pan; spray rack and foil with cooking spray.
• In large shallow bowl or pie plate, mix melted butter and pepper flakes. Add asparagus; toss thoroughly to coat. Divide asparagus evenly into 8 bundles. Wrap each bundle in one slice of bacon. Do not overlap the bacon. If desired, secure each bundle with 2 toothpicks; place toothpick-side down on rack. Drizzle with any remaining butter mixture.
• Bake 30 to 36 minutes, turning once, until asparagus is tender and bacon is cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Place asparagus on a sheet of waxed paper; coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle with pepper; turn to coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each spear; secure ends with toothpicks. , Grill, uncovered, over medium heat until bacon is crisp, 4-6 minutes on each side. Discard toothpicks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Wrap 2 asparagus spears with a slice of prosciutto. Place spears on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the tips and ends of the asparagus (avoiding the prosciutto). Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
• Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.
