Asparagus bundles wrapped in crisp-tender bacon in a buttery brown sugar glaze – grilled or baked! Can be prepped in advance!
You guys. Asparagus. bacon. bundles.
In an ideal world, I would like one asparagus per bacon slice. But nothing is perfect.
So this will do. 5-6 asparagus spears per bacon slice. Or maybe 4?
Whatever. I’ll make my peace with it.
But really. That buttery brown sugar sauce is everything.

3. Lightly coat asparagus with olive oil; season with pepper, to taste.

5. Place asparagus bundles in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Top with butter mixture.

7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.
