Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles
Bacon asparagus bundles: craft these incredible, cheesy bacon-wrapped asparagus spears. Perfect as an appetizer or a flavorful side for any meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus (trimmed)
- 1/4 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- 4 slices of thin-cut bacon (cut in half)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F for optimal cooking.
- In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, parmesan, and everything bagel seasoning thoroughly. Set aside.
- Gently toss the asparagus in the olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, then divide into 8 equal piles.
- Slowly stretch each slice of bacon to prevent shrinking and aid faster cooking.
- Place a heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture and an asparagus bundle on a bacon slice, wrap loosely, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Cook the bundles for 20-25 minutes until asparagus is tender and bacon is crisp, adjusting time based on asparagus size and bacon overlap.
