Bacon Wrapped Sesame Asparagus

This is a major yum fest. If you are serving anyone who thinks they don't like asparagus, serve them this to change their mind. I believe it will work like a charm, as this is too delicious. As I mentioned in my previous entry, this pairs well with the baked tilapia for which I made the video (and is pictured below).

Recipe below contains my modifications.

Ingredients:

1 bunch asparagus, stems removed (around 20-25 spears)
4 (or 5) slices thick-cut bacon (I used 5, as I had about 27 spears total, making 5 bundles)
1 1/2 T. olive oil
1/2 T. toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 T. brown sugar
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 T. sesame seeds, toasted

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (be absolutely sure you do this!!) and place wire rack on top. Spray rack with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Whisk together olive oil, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, and garlic in a small bowl.


3. Wind a piece of bacon around 5-6 spears as a bundle, then place bundle seam side down on the rack. Repeat for remaining spears.


4. Spoon some of the sauce mixture over each bundle, making sure to coat as well as possible.

5. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Transfer to oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. Serve up and enjoy!
