Bacon wrapped asparagus is a smoky and savory side dish that will be a staple for mealtime. Each bundle is glazed with maple syrup for caramelized flavor you won’t be able to get enough of!

Let’s be honest… everything is better with bacon. For more tasty side dishes try bacon wrapped carrots, dates, or chestnuts!

Asparagus Wrapped in Bacon

I’m so excited to share this popular bacon wrapped asparagus dish, made with just six ingredients. It’s one of my go-to favorites when it comes to roasted veggies. Asparagus is one of my favorite veggies by itself, but it’s even better wrapped with a piece of juicy bacon. This is a crowd-pleasing appetizer or side dish that often steals the show!

There are two challenges when making vegetables wrapped in bacon. First, the bacon strips are cooked on the outside, but the insides don’t have the same crisp texture. Second, the asparagus spears cook way too quickly in the high-temperature oven before the bacon is done, creating shriveled up bundles. I found just the right solution to improve both of these issues, and the results are delicious! Stay tuned for the perfect bacon-wrapped asparagus made even better with a tasty maple glaze! It’s a dish that everyone will love.

Ingredients Needed

You only need a few simple ingredients to make a knockout side dish. Bacon wrapped asparagus is so hearty and delicious, you’ll want to serve it alongside all of your favorite meals! Note: exact measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card below.

Olive Oil: Olive oil adds a rich and smooth flavor to the dish, and also helps to prevent the bacon wrapped asparagus from sticking to the pan.

Pure Maple Syrup: Maple syrup brings a touch of sweetness to the glaze, complementing the savory flavors of the bacon and asparagus.

Garlic Salt: Adds a delicious savory and garlicky flavor to the dish.

Black Pepper: For an extra kick of flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of black pepper based on your preference for spiciness.

Thick-Cut Bacon: Because let’s be honest here, the bacon is the star of the show. It adds a salty, smoky, and crispy element to the dish.

Fresh Asparagus Spears: Asparagus pairs wonderfully with bacon. Make sure to trim off the woody ends of the asparagus before use.

Kosher Salt: Kosher salt is used to season the asparagus and enhance its natural flavors. You can adjust the amount of salt based on your taste preferences.

How to Make the Best Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

This is one of my favorite side dishes to make because it tastes like it’s from a fancy steakhouse. Plus, it comes together in just 30 minutes! You’ll want to serve this bacon wrapped goodness with every meal.

Precook the Bacon

Preheat Oven: Adjust the oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add Bacon: Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Place 5 slices of bacon spaced evenly apart on the pan.

Roast: Roast until the bacon just begins to shrink and turns a slightly red color, but is still flexible, about 5 minutes, depending on thickness. The bacon should not be completely crispy, otherwise, it will break when wrapping around the asparagus.

Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, garlic salt, and black pepper.

Brush With Maple Mixture: Remove the bacon from the oven and brush with the maple syrup mixture on both sides. Roast the bacon for 3 more minutes.

Cool: Allow the bacon to cool until it’s easy to handle with your fingers. Divide the asparagus into five even-size bundles.

Prepare the Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Wrap: On a cutting board, wrap one slice of the par-cooked bacon overlapping over the length of the asparagus spears.

Prepare Bacon Wrapped Asparagus: Secure the bacon with a toothpick. Carefully place the bundles on the baking rack. Generously brush the maple syrup mixture over the bacon-wrapped asparagus spears on both sides. Lightly season each bundle with salt and pepper.

Roast, Add More Glaze: Roast the bacon asparagus bundles for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and brush the maple mixture over just the bacon.

Roast Again: Roast for 5 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and crispy, and the asparagus is tender.

Serve: Remove the toothpicks and serve the bacon wrapped asparagus hot.
