From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Keto Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus offers a delightful combination of crispy bacon with tender asparagus spears. This dish serves as a fantastic side or appetizer, providing both the satisfying crunch of bacon and the nutritional benefits of asparagus.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

  • 20 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 10 slices of bacon, cut in half crosswise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese or 1 tsp garlic powder for added flavor

Instructions[edit | edit source]

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears.
  3. Wrap each asparagus spear with half a slice of bacon, securing it by tucking the ends underneath.
  4. Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced out and not touching.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or garlic powder.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
  7. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]

This dish pairs well with keto grilled chicken or a keto creamy soup. For those looking for a touch of zest, a drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes can elevate the dish.
