Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

Happy Mom’s Day everyone!  This past weekend Sean & I made the trip to his parents to grill out for Mother’s Day. And yes, we picked a new recipe to try. Asparagus is in season right now & we love grilling so this gave us an opportunity to try a new side dish.


Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

10 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 bacon strips, halved lengthwise

Directions:
Place asparagus on a sheet of waxed paper; coat with cooking spray.  Sprinkle with pepper; turn to coat. Wrap a bacon piece around each spear; secure ends with toothpicks.

Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until bacon is crisp.  Discard the toothpicks.
Tupps Tidbits ~ I used a very hot grill and the asparagus turned out perfect.  If the grill is “really” smoking, remember it is just the bacon cooking!

This was a hit! Fabulous! We served them with grilled chicken and a fresh fruit salad for a wonderful meal.  Gluten Free meal that is! Definitely a KEEPER in our book!
