This Smoked Bacon Wrapper Asparagus is not only easy and delicious but also Whole30 and Paleo approved. It makes a great healthy side dish, appetizer, or addition to brunch!
Clean the asparagus and trim 1-2 inches from the bottom removing the woody ends.
Place asparagus in a shallow dish and drizzle with oil, apple cider vinegar, and sprinkle with seasonings.
Use your hands to coat asparagus evenly.
Take 3-4 spears of asparagus and wrap with one piece of raw bacon creating a bundle.
Preheat the smoker to 180 degrees F for 5-10 minutes and then place asparagus bundles straight onto the grill grates and smoke for 10-15 minutes. See Notes
Turn heat up to 350 degrees F and continue to smoke for approximately 10 minuter per side or until bacon is crisp and cooked thoroughly to your liking.
Remove from grill and enjoy!
Notes
To make this recipe without a smoker simply preheat your grill and grill on medium heat for 10 minutes on each side or until the bacon is crispy.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
I have found that the best way to reheat this recipe is on a skillet just until warmed or in the air fryer on a medium-low heat just until warmed.
