Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
• 8 ounces bacon, cut in half
• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
3. Wrap each asparagus spear with a half slice of bacon, starting at the bottom and spiraling upward to the tip.
4. Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
6. While the asparagus is baking, prepare the honey mustard dip by whisking together the Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Remove the asparagus from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving with the honey mustard dip. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Substitute maple syrup for honey if you prefer a different sweetness profile in your dip.

For best results, choose thin asparagus spears, as they cook more evenly and become nice and tender. If you can only find thick spears, you may need to adjust your cooking time accordingly.

If you’re looking for variations, try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking for an extra layer of flavor. You can also substitute the bacon with prosciutto for a gourmet twist.

These bites are best served warm but can be made ahead of time. Just reheat them in a warm oven for 5-10 minutes before serving to restore their crispiness.
