What type of bacon works best for bacon-wrapped asparagus?

Thin-cut bacon is best because it cooks through and crisps without overcooking the asparagus. Thick-cut bacon may need par-cooking first.

Do I need to pre-cook the asparagus?

No. Fresh asparagus cooks perfectly in the oven while the bacon crisps. Just trim the woody ends before wrapping.

Can I make bacon-wrapped asparagus ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble them up to 24 hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
