Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven, if using, to 400°F. or preheat an outdoor grill.
Step 2
Lightly coat the asparagus spears in EVOO. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four. Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Step 3
To grill, place the bundles on the hot grill and cover. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes over indirect heat until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus bundles are tender.
Step 4
For oven preparation, place the bundles on a slotted broiler pan. Bake for 12 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus bundles are tender.
Step 5
Sprinkle with the chopped chives and serve.
