- 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Toothpicks (optional, for securing bacon)
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Rinse and trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears.
- Toss asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Wrap each bacon slice around 2-3 asparagus spears and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Place wrapped bundles on the grill and cook for 10–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender.
- Remove from grill and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Thin-cut bacon works best for even cooking on the grill.
- You can precook the bacon slightly to reduce grill time and ensure crispiness.
- Serve with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of parmesan for extra flavor.
