How to Prep the Asparagus?
You always want to cut off the ends of your asparagus. The ends of your asparagus just don’t taste very good, so you’ll want to trim about 1 inch off the end to remove that icky tasting bit. I do not recommend that you just “snap” the asparagus ends off. A lot of people recommend that you snap your asparagus as it will break at the softer part which likely tastes better. It makes sense in theory, but in actuality, you end up wasting a lot of the asparagus. I recommend instead that you just cut off about 1 inch.How Long Does it Take for Bacon Wrapped Asparagus to Cook in the Oven?
I typically bake my asparagus for about 25 minutes – give or take. I personally like my bacon to be super crispy, so I tend to leave them in the oven for a longer amount of time them most would. I recommend you check your asparagus after about 18 minutes and see how it looks, and then continue to check it every few minutes until it reaches the level of crispiness you like.
