Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 lb. asparagus (trimmed, washed, and patted dry)
  • 4 slices bacon (cut in half)
  • 2 oz. soft goat cheese (chevre)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Mix asparagus with olive oil (1 tablespoon), salt, and pepper on the rimmed baking sheet.
  • Divide the asparagus into 8 equal portions.
  • Wrap each portion in 1/2 piece of bacon and arrange spaced apart on prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 30 minutes, or until bacon is beginning to brown and asparagus is getting crispy.
  • While it's cooking, put the goat cheese in the freezer so it's easier to crumble. Use the tines of a fork to twist crumbles off the goat cheese.
  • Transfer asparagus bundles to a serving plate and sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese.
