Keto Cheddar Bacon Wrapped Aspargus Bundles
This easy Keto side dish is cheesy, crispy, salty, hot, and nutritious! Fresh asparagus stalks are chopped and arranged in bundles, blanketed in cheddar cheese, and wrapped in bacon before being baked to a crisp. Each bite includes tenderized veggies, melted cheese, and meaty bacon. Seasoning is optional, as the bacon flavors the asparagus. Sprinkle black pepper or garlic powder before baking if desired. These bundles are great for Keto meal prepping, easily reheating and lasting up to 5 days refrigerated. Enjoy them with dinner or lunch, or with hollandaise sauce. They also make a quick Keto snack. For flavor variations, coat the asparagus in olive oil with seasonings before wrapping in bacon. Substitute cheddar with pepper jack for spice, or colby jack or smoked gouda for milder flavors. Choose your favorite bacon flavor, avoiding added sugar. - Jessica L.
