This elegant and delicious side dish is  simple to make. When you’re up for a splurge, make it more special by substituting bacon with prosciutto. And with an artistic presentation on the table, this will surely bring glory to your cooking expertise!

You will need:


1 to 2 bunches of asparagus (or 32 spears), cleaned and trimmed

8 bacon strips

olive oil for drizzling

sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Here’s how:


1. Gather 4 asparagus spears and wrap one strip of bacon around the bunch making sure all spears lay flat. Repeat with the rest of the asparagus.

2. Line wrapped asparagus bunches on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Place in a preheated 180^oC oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until asparagus is tender and bacon is crispy.
