Bacon Wrapped Jumbo Asparagus with Garlic and Parmesan
A decadent way to serve asparagus, these individual spears are stuffed with garlic and parmesan, then wrapped in a full slice of bacon and roasted until crispy
Ingredients
- 8 jumbo spears asparagus
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced very thin
- 1 inch chunk parmesan cheese, sliced thinly
- 8 slices bacon
Instructions
- Rinse asparagus and chop about an inch or so off the bottom.
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut a slit from just below the head to a few inches from the bottom of each spear. Using the knife, twist slightly in the slit to open and slide in parmesan cheese and garlic into each spear.
- Wrap each spear with one slice of bacon on a diagonal to cover most of the openings.
- Arrange on a rack over a baking sheet. Bake in on the centre rack in a preheated oven at 400° for 15 - 20 minutes until bacon is crispy.
