Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide 1 lb trimmed asparagus spears into 8 bundles of about 4 spears each.
  2. Step 2: Wrap each asparagus bundle tightly with one half slice of bacon, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  3. Step 3: Place the bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter with 3 minced garlic cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Step 5: Brush each bacon-wrapped asparagus bundle generously with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and optional 1 tsp lemon zest.
  6. Step 6: Bake bundles in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender.
  7. Step 7: Remove toothpicks and serve warm as a flavorful keto side.
