Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 6 strips bacon
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F and line your baking sheet with parchment paper, I like to do this first so it is ready to go.
  • Wash asparagus & lightly dry. Break off ends, or cut 1” off the bottom. 
  • Grabbing 4-6 pieces of asparagus at a time, wrap one piece of bacon around it, folding the end under and placing that part on the prepared pan. 
  • Mix maple syrup, soy sauce, & pepper in a small bowl, and warm up for 15-20 seconds in the microwave. This will help it combine easier.
  • Drizzle sauce mixture over bacon wrapped asparagus. 
  • Place in the oven for 25 minutes.
  •  Then turn on the high-broiler to crisp up the bacon for 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, serve on a plate or platter and enjoy!

Notes

Variations

There are a couple of different ways you can spice this recipe up!
  • Turkey bacon - For a healthier recipe, feel free to use turkey bacon or another lower-fat bacon. Cooking time may differ so check package for directions.
  • Omit maple syrup - If you don't want your asparagus to have a hint of sweetness, you can omit the maple syrup. Feel free adding garlic or other simple spices in place of the maple syrup.
  • Add parmesan cheese - Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of this bacon wrapped asparagus before serving. Nothing beats a cheese and bacon combo!
