Notes
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes on the bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles before baking.
- It’s best to choose thicker asparagus spears and thick-cut bacon for easier wrapping.
- Spray the wire rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar over each bacon-wrapped asparagus bundle before serving for a tangy twist.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add Parmesan cheese or goat cheese crumbles to these asparagus-wrapped-in bacon delights.
- You can replace regular bacon with turkey bacon if preferred.
