BACON ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Combine minced garlic in a small bowl with 3 Tbsp olive oil and set aside while preparing your asparagus and gathering the rest of your ingredients.
• Break off the fibrous ends of your asparagus by holding the base end and snapping it wherever it snaps. Discard the ends. I like this method most because it ensures that you won't have any fibrous ends. You can also use a knife to cut the ends off about 1" up from the base.
• Transfer asparagus to a rimmed baking sheet then drizzle and toss it with the garlic oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and bake at 400°F for 13-18 mins (depending on the thickness of asparagus) or until lightly browned and easily pierced with a fork.
• While baking, saute 6 strips of bacon, drain on paper towels then coarsely chop. Serve asparagus warm and sprinkle the top with bacon.

BACON WRAPPED GARLIC PARMESAN ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• On a baking sheet covered in foil, put 6 slices of bacon. Put sheet in cold oven, then turn on preheat to 400. Allow bacon to slowly cook for about 10-12 minutes. It should still be rather rare but partially cooked. Take it out and put it aside. Important: KEEP THE FOIL, do not throw it away - see below.
• Meanwhile, put the other ingredients including asparagus into a gallon size ziplock bag and shake to coat thoroughly.
• Wrap 4-5 stalks of asparagus about halfway down with the bacon. Place seamside down on the same foil and sheet you cooked the bacon on (right on the bacon grease spots). Cook for 10-20 minutes at 400 degrees, depending on how tender you want your asparagus (I like super tender at 20 minutes).

SAUTéED GARLIC ASPARAGUS WITH BACON

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and wipe out the grease.
• Add the butter, garlic, asparagus, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Sauté until tender about 5-7 minutes.
• Add the bacon back into the asparagus and serve.

ASPARAGUS BUNDLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Divide the asparagus spears into 12 bundles. Carefully wrap 1 piece of bacon around each bundle, starting about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the tips. Secure the bacon-wrapped spears with a toothpick. Lay the bundles in a low-sided casserole dish. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, garlic salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Pour the hot sugar mixture over the asparagus bundles. Transfer the dish to the oven and roast until the spears have begun to wilt and the bacon looks fully cooked, about 25 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

ROASTED-GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line a large jelly-roll pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a small pot, heat the oil, garlic, onion powder, and parsley on medium-low heat. Cook for 3 minutes, until the garlic mixture is fragrant but not browned.
• Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared pan. Lightly sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle on the garlic-oil mixture.
• Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus are bright green; do not overcook.
• Transfer to a platter and serve hot.
