Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 15 - 20 spears of fresh asparagus (1 pound)
  • Olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 5 slices bacon (thinly sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper (or your preferred rub)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Break off the ends of the asparagus, then trim it all so they're down to the same length.

  2. 2

    Separate the asparagus into bundles—3 spears per bundle. Then spritz them with some olive oil.

  3. 3

    Use a piece of bacon to wrap up each bundle. When you're done, lightly dust the wrapped bundle with some salt and pepper to taste, or your preferred rub.

  4. 4

    Set up your griddle so that it's ready for indirect cooking.

  5. 5

    Put some fiberglass mats on your grates. Make sure they're the fiberglass kind. This will keep your asparagus from getting stuck on your griddle gates.

  6. 6

    Preheat your griddle to 400ºF.

  7. 7

    Griddle the wraps for 25 minutes to 30 minutes, tops. The goal is to get your asparagus looking nice and tender, and the bacon deliciously crispy.
