Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Asparagus Tough ends removed.
  • 8 Bacon strips Leave whole.
  • 1 tsp Creole seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to Broil at 450 degrees.

  2. Season the asparagus with Creole Seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.

  3. Wrap 4 stalks of thin asparagus (tough ends removed) with the entire bacon strip in a spiral fashion, moving down towards the ends. Note: If asparagus is thick, wrap only 2 stalks with bacon.

  4. Place and line on a nonstick baking pan or cookie sheet if available. Otherwise, spray your baking sheet to avoid the bacon sticking to it.

  5. Drizzle with oil and broil in oven for at least 20 minutes. Optional: Tent the asparagus tips only for the first 10 minutes, to avoid burning or overcooking. Carefully remove the cut foiled pieces and continue cooking the remaining 10 minutes. Then enjoy!
