The maple bacon paired up with cracked black pepper and sea salt makes this sweet and savory dish a winner! A side that looks fancy, but is soooo easy. Enjoy roasted in the oven {as shown} or grilled!
Trim the bottoms of your asparagus so they are even with one another {about 1-2 inches} and rinse. Bundle 5-6 together, wrap tightly with one piece of uncooked maple bacon -seal with a toothpick.
Line up bundles in a foiled lined 9×13 baking pan {I would steer away from a cookie sheet because the bacon juices will run off}.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and sea salt. Roast in a 400 oven for 15 mins {turning in between} until browned. If you would prefer, you can grill 5 mins on each side until bacon is cooked and crispy.
