EQUIPMENT:

- Knife
- Cookie sheet
INGREDIENTS:
- 24 stalks of asparagus
- 12 slices of bacon
- 1 tsp. olive oil
- ¼ tsp. garlic salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
INGREDIENT NOTES:
ASPARAGUS:
- However, the fresh asparagus that is smooth has a bright color and a firm texture. Buy a medium asparagus; they will not get overcooked till the bacon is crispy and made.
BACON:
- But thin cuts of bacon, not thick ones because it will take more time to get crispy and the asparagus will become soggy.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil is used to adhere the seasoning with the asparagus and bacon and it also enhances its flavor. We can also use any other keto-friendly neutral oil as well.
SEASONING:
- Garlic salt and black pepper are used as a seasoning. We would add the salt and garlic powder separately if you didn’t have any garlic salt.

INSTRUCTION:
PREP:
- Turn the oven on to four hundred degrees F (204 degrees Celsius).
- Put a non-stick or greased oven-safe wire rack on a cookie sheet.
- Trim the asparagus’s woody ends.
SEASON:
- Pour some olive oil over it.
- To taste, add garlic salt and pepper (black).
(Just enough oil is needed for the seasoning to adhere; not much more.)
WRAP:
- To get thinner strips, cut the bacon pieces lengthwise.
- Because the bacon will shrink during cooking, it will form a “striped” pattern.
- Tightly wrap each bacon strip around each asparagus stalk, and overlap the bacon on one stalk of asparagus.
- Lay the wire rack seam side down.
BAKE:
- Bake for ten minutes.
- Turn over with tongs.
- Again bake for more five to ten mints or until the bacon is nearly crispy.
BROIL:
- Broil the wrapped asparagus till the bacon is fully crispy.
TIPS:
- Lightly seasoned and also add a few amount of oil to the dish as bacon is already salty and has lots of fat.
- Do not overlap too many bacon strips on each other to avoid uneven cooking as well as it will not get as crispy as it could be.
- You can use a wire rack in place of the sheet (baking) to get extra crispy bacon.
- Broil the bacon for extra crispiness but watch the process it get burn certainly.
