Ingredients For oven bacon wrapped asparagus

    thick slices bacon
  • 1 Tbsp
    red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp
    dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp

How To Make oven bacon wrapped asparagus

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • 2
    Wash and trim asparagus; removing the tough lower portion of the stem. (You will need to split out the asparagus into four equal bundles). Wrap one slice of bacon around 5-6 spears of asparagus and place on baking sheet.
  • 3
    In small bowl combine red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, chives and pepper. Whisk in olive oil. Pour half of the mustard vinaigrette into a separate bowl and set aside. Take remaining vinaigrette and using basting brush baste asparagus bundles. Place cookie sheet in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Turn broiler on to brown the bacon the last 1-2 minutes of cooking. Stay close by as I have always found broilers unpredictable.
