Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

1 -1 1/2 lbs fresh Asparagus
1 package Center cut Bacon
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

Asparagus has woody or fibrous ends. If you snap the bottoms off, they will break where the fibrous part ends.
Snap off the bottoms of the asparagus. Lay the asparagus out flat on a cookie sheet. Drizzle them with oil and sprinkle with salt (just a little since the bacon will be salty) and pepper and toss to coat evenly.
Take a strip of bacon and wrap it around 4 spears of the seasoned asparagus. On a grill preheat to medium, put the asparagus bundles horizontally (so they don't fall through the grates) on the grill. Rotate the bundles after 5 minutes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is cooked through and a little crispy.
My oldest son loves asparagus, but my other 2 kids don't really like it. So imagine my surprise when that was the first thing gone off of their plates. :-)
** You can also substitute Prosciutto for the bacon if you want to.
