Asparagus spears are grouped into small bundles, wrapped in bacon, and roasted until the bacon turns crisp and the asparagus is tender-crisp. A light brush of maple syrup and black pepper balances the smoky, salty bacon, making this a naturally gluten-free side suited to holiday dinners or weeknight meals alike.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

  2. Divide the trimmed asparagus into 8 small bundles of 3 to 4 spears each.

  3. Wrap one slice of bacon around the middle of each asparagus bundle, tucking the ends underneath to secure.

  4. Arrange the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

  5. Drizzle the bundles with olive oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

  6. Roast in the preheated oven until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender, 18 to 20 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven and let the bundles rest 3 minutes before serving.
