How to Make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus on the Grill

1. The first step to making Bacon Wrapped Asparagus is to preheat your grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Next you will trim the ends of your asparagus to each piece is about 5 to 6 inches long.
3. Place asparagus in a mixing bowl and toss with olive oil to coat. Then season with salt and pepper.
4. After that you will take 5-6 spears of asparagus and one slice of bacon. Wrap the bacon around the bundle of asparagus and secure with a toothpick if desired.
5. Repeat until all the spears and bacon are used.
6. Place the bundles on the preheated grill for 10 minutes then flip and grill an additional 10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and asparagus is cooked through.

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus in the Oven

You can make this in the oven if you prefer not to grill and it’s so easy.

If you would like to make these in the oven bake in preheated oven warmed to 400 degrees on a roasting pan for about 25-30 minutes.

Make Ahead Tips

Prep the bundles and wrap in bacon up to 1 day before grilling. Store in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

When ready to grill pull them out and prepare on the grill according to directions.

How to Store Leftovers

If you have leftovers put them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Reheat Leftovers

To reheat we recommend placing them on a baking sheet and reheating in the oven to get crispy bacon. Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees until warmed through.

You could also chop them up, add them to a skillet and heat through. They’d make an amazing addition to pasta with a butter sauce!
