Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
When you are camping or grilling out, you may have tried cooking bacon on the grill for breakfast or lunch. And asparagus on the grill? That’s a (delicious!) staple. But what about bacon wrapped asparagus on the grill? You’ve got to give it a go!
The trick of this recipe is that you want to use a thick and long cut of bacon. I used center cut bacon because it is wider, but you can adjust based on what you have. You’re looking to hold everything together, so the bacon “strength” is key.
This recipe is a fun one to serve at a barbecue because of the added smoky flavor. Plus, it looks awesome!
Naturally keto, paleo, atkins friendly, gluten-free, dairy-free and so much more, your guests will love this unique twist on some tasty food staples.

Bacon on the Grill
Ingredients:
1 – 1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus
3 pieces thick center cut bacon
Rinse your asparagus and trim off the ends so that they are uniform. Take out a piece of aluminum foil to work from and lay out your bacon slices.
Take about a third of your asparagus and add it to the center of one of your slices of bacon. Wrap the bacon slice around the asparagus so that the ends meet in front. (You want to leave a bit of wiggle room so your bacon can fit around and overlap the sides.)
Once you have wrapped the bacon around the asparagus, add a toothpick into the middle to hold the bacon ends together to cook.
When the bundles are done being put together, close up the ends of your aluminum foil so that it is tray-like. Place the aluminum foil on your campfire grill and let them cook for about 8 – 10 minutes.
Once that time has passed, take them off the grill. Carefully remove the asparagus bundles from the aluminum foil and place them directly back on the grill so that you can get a nice crisp to the bacon.
Watch carefully during this time and rotate as needed. This can take several minutes, as you are wanting to make certain that the bacon is thoroughly done.
Pull them from the campfire once the bacon is crispy and cooked all the way!
Serve and enjoy immediately!
