What You Need

Tbsp. brown sugar

lb. thin fresh asparagus spears, trimmed

Make It

HEAT oven to 400ºF.

PLACE bacon in single layer on paper towel-lined microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until bacon starts to cook but is not crisp. Sprinkle with sugar.

DIVIDE asparagus into 4 small bunches. Wrap 1 bacon slice, sugar-sides in, in spiral-fashion around each asparagus bundle. Place on rack of foil-lined broiler pan.

What a simple way to add some extra flavor to the asparagus. This has become a staple side dish for us. Thanks for sharing!

I thought half of it was good and half of it was gross, but my husband loved it! Next time I won't bake it as long or dip the tops of the asparagus in water first or something. The bottom ends and the bacon were perfect, but the tops were really gross burnt.

I made this for Easter dinner April 24th 2011. Everyone loved it. And it is so easy to fix. This is one I will make very often. Janet

FINALLY, a recipe with really crispy bacon around the asparagus!! I put just enough butter in a skillet to have a place for my red pepper flakes & grated fresh garlic to melt it into then tossed the asparagus in it before the bacon wrap...YUM but careful of a pepper flake.
