Grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon is hands down one of my favorite sides to make! When buying the ingredients, make sure to purchase enough bacon slices to account for 1 slice of bacon for every 3 asparagus spears. Serve this grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus as a side or eat it by itself for an amazing snack! Trust me, this will be your go to way of making asparagus from now on!

Ingredients

Main

• 24 fresh asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
• 8 slices of bacon, regular cut
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1.    Preheat the grill

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

2.    Prep the asparagus for grilling

Remove the tough, bottom ends of the asparagus by either snapping them off or cutting them with a knife. Toss the asparagus in olive oil and then season with salt & pepper. Grab 3 asparagus stalks and hold them together evenly. Starting right under the tips of the stalks, wrap tightly with a piece of bacon down to the bottom - overlap if needed. Continue with the remaining asparagus bunches.

3.    Grill the bacon wrapped asparagus

Place the bacon wrapped asparagus bunches directly on the grill grate and grill for 25-30 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender.

4.    Serve the grilled bacon wrapped asparagus

Remove the bacon wrapped asparagus from the grill, let cool for a few minutes, and enjoy them as a side or by themselves for an amazing snack!
