Asparagus and Bacon

By mhyde

Ingredients

• 3 bunches asparagus (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound sliced bacon

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, garlic and rosemary, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Separate the spears into piles of 3 or 4. Wrap a slice of bacon around each pile, spreading out the bacon as you go so just the top and bottom of the spears are showing. Place the bundles on a baking sheet and bake until the bacon is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
