Ingredients
- 10 fresh asparagus spears trimmed
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 slices turkey bacon halved lengthwise
- avocado oil spray
Instructions
- Lay the asparagus on a wax paper sheet. Mist them lightly with avocado oil spray, enhancing their fresh green hue. Dust with black pepper, tossing them gently to ensure every angle is coated.
- Gently wrap a piece of turkey bacon around each asparagus spear, making sure the bacon overlaps slightly for a snug fit. Secure each end with a toothpick, ensuring the wraps stay intact during grilling.
- Position the asparagus on a preheated grill, medium flame. Grill uncovered, letting the bacon crisp and the asparagus soften for about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Their aroma should be a mix of smokiness and earthiness.
- Once cooked, remove and discard the toothpicks before serving these delicious bites. Their texture should be a crunchy spear encased in crispy bacon.
