Asparagus is a traditional Spring dish so it goes great for Easter. Here is a super simple, full of flavor version –
What you need:
- 1 large bundle of fresh asparagus, about a pound
- 12 oz package of bacon
- sea salt
- olive oil
- 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped
How to Do it:
Rinse the asparagus and remove the tough, white ends. Separate them into bundles of about 5-6 stalks.
Wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon.
Place in a single layer in a baking dish. Sprinkle some olive oil over the top and then some sea salt. If you are using a salt mill, use about 4-5 twists on a fine grind.
Place baking dish in a 325 degree oven and bake, uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Move the pan to the broiler for about 3-5 minutes to brown the bacon.
Serve hot!
Serves 4-6

Hi Helen, The combo of asparagus and bacon sounds heavenly! I plan to try this soon. Blessings, Janet
I’ve shockingly enough never had bacon wrapped asparagus before – but I just did some salmon “bacon” wrapped asparagus that was ON POINT!
salmon bacon?? Hmmm…..
