Sabrina’s Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipe
Asparagus is in season from early spring to summer, making it the peak time to eat this tasty veggie, but really this recipe is great anytime of year. While they are delicious on their own, the crispy bacon just makes them all the more appetizing! Instead of wrapping them in bundles, I wrap each spear individually which makes them a perfect fancy yet easy appetizer to serve for a special dinner like Easter. This is definitely a recipe you’ll want to double or triple for a crowd because they will go fast!
