When you are ready to light your grill if you are in fact cooking your grilled asparagus with bacon over charcoal make sure to use the HomeRight electro light. No chemicals, fluid or long waits to get the fire going. The electro light uses hot air to light your charcoal in around 2-3 minutes. Catch the electro-light in action here: lighting charcoal the fast and easy way. You can get a HomeRight Electro Light HERE. Once you get your charcoal ignited you can get back to preparing your bacon wrapped asparagus bundles while the grill itself heats up. If you are using a gas grill you can set the temp to medium heat.

Preparing Bacon Wrapped Asparagus for the Grill

To make bacon asparagus bundles, first trim the ends of your asparagus spears. Whether you are using thicker asparagus stalks or thin asparagus, trim approximately 1 – 1.5 inches from the thick white-ish end. 

To make your bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles wrap 3 stalks of tender asparagus with one piece of bacon. Only wrap the bacon slice 3/4 of the way up the spears leaving the ends unwrapped. Secure each bundle of wrapped asparagus with a toothpick. Thick-cut bacon is easier to work with than regular cut bacon or turkey bacon. Thick cut bacon is less likely to tear making it perfect for this asparagus dish. 

Do this for all of your bacon and asparagus until you run out of one or the other (or both). Next, season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Grilling Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus spears on the wire rack of the grill and cook for appx 3-5 minutes on each side until the slice of bacon is cooked and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on your grill. If you are concerned about your grilled bacon wrapped asparagus catching fire you can opt to place it on foil to avoid catching on fire.

Delicious Grilled Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

This easy recipe is a delicious side dish that combines the smoky bacon flavor with tender asparagus. Even if you aren’t an asparagus fan you will love this easy side dish. 

Since this grilled bacon wrapped asparagus recipe is super super simple and easy it is also considered gluten-free and paleo-friendly. The best way to enjoy this recipe is to eat it right after it is made while the crispy bacon is still crispy.
