These things are seriously so easy, just about anyone can make them! And asparagus bundles look impressive and have flavor to match. Start by wrapping 3 asparagus(es?) into a bundle using bacon to hold it together.

Then prepare a glass dish with some olive oil. If you are just throwing diet to the wind, use a small slice of butter on the asparagus(i?) tips to make them SUPER crunchy – and if you’ve never experienced a perfectly crisp asparagus tip, you’re missing out.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 9 stalks asparagus
  • 3 strips bacon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon feta cheese
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Clean the asparagus stalks and trim off any hard bottoms.
  • Take 3 stalks of asparagus and use a strip of bacon to wrap them together. To ensure the bundle holds together, slightly overlap the bacon as you wrap it around the stalks.
  • Spritz some olive oil into a glass baking dish and place the wrapped asparagus bundles inside. Sprinkle sea salt and cracked pepper over them.
  • Place a teaspoon of minced garlic on the tips of each bundle and add a teaspoon of butter on top of the garlic.
  • Cook the bundles in the preheated oven for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and turns red. Once done, you can sprinkle the bundles with feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
