Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Feta

Everyone in our house LOVES asparagus (with the exception of my 8-year-old son, who says he would rather kiss a toilet seat than eat it).  So lately, I’ve been experimenting with new and unique ways of preparing it.   The presentation of this Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Feta is so pretty and simple (not to mention delicious) it would be ideal to serve at a dinner party.  It’s sure to impress your guests!

Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Feta

Asparagus bunch
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Bacon
Feta cheese

Cut the woody ends off the asparagus spears.  Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.  Wrap a bundle of 2-3 asparagus spears in a slice of bacon.   Place on a jelly roll pan or cake pan that has been covered with aluminum foil for easy clean-up.  Note:  Make sure you use a tray or sheet with an edge to catch the bacon grease.

Roast the asparagus for 10-15 minutes at 450 degrees or until bacon starts to crisp.  We have found that thick-cut bacon doesn’t work as well as thinly sliced bacon.  Remove from the oven and sprinkle with feta cheese.
