Keto Cheddar Bacon Wrapped Aspargus Bundles
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Start with approximately 2 asparagus stalks per bundle and cut the stalks in half. Each bundle should have 2 tops and 2 bottoms, or 4 pieces total. Slice the cheese into 2 rectangles per bundle, as pictured. For this recipe, you do not need to blanch or season the asparagus.
Step 2
Lay down a strip of bacon horizontally. Arrange the base of your asparagus bundle on the widest end of the bacon. Lay the 2 cheese slices on top of the asparagus. Wrap the loose bacon around the cheese and asparagus bundle, tucking the ends of the bacon to keep them from popping up during baking.
Step 3
Arrange each wrapped asparagus bundle on your sheet tray. Bake the bundles for 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy on the outside, the cheese is melted, and the asparagus is tender. At your discretion, you can use a paper towel to soak up any excess grease from the bacon. A reasonable Keto serving size in a meal would be 2 bundles per serving.
