Yes, blanching the asparagus for 2-3 minutes before wrapping helps soften it slightly while maintaining a crisp bite. This also ensures even cooking with the bacon.
How Do I Keep The Bacon From Burning Before The Asparagus Cooks Through?
Pre-cook the bacon slightly in the oven for a few minutes before wrapping. Use thinner-cut bacon for faster crisping.
Can I Use an Alternative To Bacon?
Absolutely! Try prosciutto, smoked salmon, or even a teriyaki-marinated tofu sheet for a plant-based twist.
What's A Good Dipping Sauce For Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus?
