Asiago Garlic and Bacon Grilled Asparagus Recipe
Asiago Garlic and Bacon Grilled Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons garlic minced
- 4 slices bacon chopped
- 1 cup Asiago cheese grated
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Get your grill ready.
- Remove the woody end of the asparagys by taking the end of the asparagus between your thumb and forefinger and bend until it breaks. The reason this is the easiest way is that the asparagus automatically breaks just where the woody part ends and the fresh, juicy asparagus begins.
- Create a tinfoil “tray” by curving up the ends. Place the asparagus in the tinfoil tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top, add the bacon, asiago cheese and salt and pepper and toss everything to coat.
- Place the tinfoil tray on the BBQ pit and grill for 5 minutes with lid closed. Open lid, toss everything again using long tongs and grill another 5 minutes with lid opened.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately.
It’s always grilling season here and you’ve put all my favorite things into one delicious side dish! We all know bacon makes everything better but the Asiago takes this asparagus over the top! Thanks for being a part of #BBQWeek!
I wish I lived in Florida so I could grill year round. I mean I could grill year round here, and I do most of the time but trying to flip things over with mittens on and snow falling all around you isn’t quite the same. haha Love ya! And thank you! xoxo
Simple ingredients, but so much flavor! I love this combination.

Such a fabulous side dish. I love cooking with foil on the grill. These are also great for beach BBQ.
Foil on the grill is so great for side dishes! Plus makes clean up a breeze. Thank you!!

We frequently make grilled or roasted asparagus with Parmesan or Asiago (whatever we have on hand) but I love the addition of bacon. YUM!
