Grilled Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

(Serves 8)

Ingredients:

• 24-32 fresh asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
• 8 slices of bacon, regular cut
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat the grill to 400°F (I prefer to use an indoor grill but outside works just as well if you prefer it that way).
2. Remove the hard bottom ends of the asparagus with a knife then toss the asparagus in olive oil, salt & pepper.
3. Grab 3-4 asparagus stalks and hold them together evenly. Starting right under the tips of the stalks, wrap tightly with a piece of bacon down to the bottom – overlap if needed. Repeat this seven more times.
4. Place your bacon wrapped asparagus onto your grill and grill for 2o-25 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
5. When done, allow your asparagus to cool for a few minutes before enjoying.
