Ingredients:
- 1 lb fresh asparagus (trimmed)
- 12 slices of bacon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- French Grey Sea Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Asparagus: Trim the tough ends of the asparagus and group them into bundles of 3-4 spears each.
-
Wrap with Bacon: Wrap each asparagus bundle tightly with one slice of bacon, securing the bacon around the spears. The bacon should wrap around the asparagus, with the ends tucked underneath the bundle to hold it in place.
-
Season the Bundles: Arrange the bacon-wrapped bundles on a baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and season with garlic powder, French Grey Sea Salt, and black pepper to taste.
-
Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the bundles in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. If you want extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting.
-
Garnish & Serve: Once done, remove the bundles from the oven and let them rest for a minute. Serve on a white platter, drizzled with a little more olive oil and a final sprinkle of French Grey Sea Salt for an elegant finish.
