Bacon makes everything better! Enjoy this blood sugar friendly side dish at your next summer bbq. 

Serves 4

Ingredients
1 bunch of asparagus trimmed
6 strips of bacon
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Cracked black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Prepare your grill to cook at medium-high heat (around 400-450 degrees F).
2. Rinse the asparagus and pat dry.
3. Trim asparagus ends at least one inch up the stem.
4. Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil and season to taste with the pepper. Gently roll around the cutting board to ensure all of the asparagus has been seasoned.
5. Gather the asparagus into bundles of 6-8 shoots and wrap with a half piece of the bacon. Try gently tucking the end of the bacon into itself at the end to secure. Toothpicks are also an option to secure the bacon, but be sure to remove them before serving.
6. Place the bundles directly on the grill grate and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crisp. Serve immediately.
