A delicious, crispy side dish of asparagus wrapped in savory bacon, perfect for reducing carbohydrate intake without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 6 slices of bacon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and trim the tough ends of the asparagus.

- Place the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle with olive oil if desired, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
Notes
For a cheesy twist, add grated Parmesan before baking. Turkey bacon can be used for a leaner option, though it may not get as crispy.
