Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 cloves garlic chopped and pressed
- 16-20 asparagus
- 2 slices of bacon per bundle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉
- Mix garlic, coconut oil, and avocado oil together in a small bowl.1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 tablespoon avocado oil, 2 cloves garlic
- Place a rack on top of a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to catch the bacon dripping. This allows the hot air to circulate around the bacon so that it can get crispy.
- Brush asparagus with oil mixture. Divide the asparagus spears into bundles containing 4 or 5 asparagus spears. Wrap each bundle with two slices of bacon. Place the bundles on the rack. Brush each bundle again with the oil mixture.16-20 asparagus, 2 slices of bacon per bundle
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the bacon is crisp. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- I use a mixture of coconut oil and avocado oil in this recipe. You can certainly use whichever oil you prefer. It's up to you.
- Best of all, bacon wrapped asparagus is keto and low-carb. And if you get sugar-free bacon, it’s whole 30 compliant too!
- Look for asparagus that is firm, bright, and even-colored. The stalks should be smooth and the heads should be compact. Avoid stalks that are limp which indicates moisture loss and age.
- Before you're ready to cook, slice off the ends with a chef's knife just where the stalks turn from white to green. You can cut more than one stalk at a time. Discard the tough woody part.
