This simple and elegant Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Recipe with Honey and Sesame Seeds is definitely the easiest appetizer for any lunch or dinner!

My appetizer combines the smokiness of bacon, the freshness of asparagus, and the sweetness of honey, elevated with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. And it is made in under 15 minutes!
What part of the year is it best to make it?
While asparagus is available year-round, it is best to cook with it when you have it in abundance. This is when asparagus is at its peak, offering a tender and vibrant green hue.
Spring asparagus tends to be more flavorful, providing the perfect flavor for a bacon and honey combo.
Where can I buy the ingredients to make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus ?
For the freshest asparagus, I recommend visiting a local farmers’ market or a trusted grocery store with a robust produce section.
It is best to choose asparagus spears that are firm, straight, and have tightly closed tips.
High-quality bacon, honey, and sesame seeds can also be sourced from specialty stores or trusted online suppliers.

Can I substitute any of the recipe ingredients?
Absolutely! My Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus recipe is very versatile and can accommodate various substitutions based on dietary preferences or ingredient availability.
- Turkey bacon can be used as a leaner alternative, and agave nectar can replace honey for a vegan version.
- I love to experiment with different types of honey, and my personal preference for bacon-wrapped asparagus is wildflower honey.
- Also, I use white sesame seeds, but you can also make it with black sesame seeds or mix them together.
Can I make Bacon Wrapped Asparagus part of a menu?
Sure! Elevate your dining experience by incorporating Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus with Honey and Sesame Seeds into this party lunch or dinner.
For an appetizer, you can start with Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus.
You can prepare Meat Roulette, Stuffed Peppers with Ground Beef and Rice, or Veal Patties as your main.
Then, serve my exquisite Strawberry Panna Cotta, or Chocolate Hazelnut Pavlova for dessert. So good!
Recipe tips & tricks
- Baste with honey: Brushing the bacon-wrapped asparagus with honey before baking adds a glaze that enhances both the flavor and appearance of the dish.
- Add some salt: Sprinkle with coarse sea salt to add even more flavor.
- Choose the right bacon: Use very thin bacon strips, so the bacon will become crispy and delicious.
My Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus recipe with Honey and Sesame Seeds is a delightful party appetizer that you can make only in 15 minutes! It is easy and enjoyable!
Wine pairings and non-alcoholic options
Curated by sommeLeo.
To complement the rich flavors of this simple appetizer, consider pairing it with a crisp and aromatic white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
For a non-alcoholic option, a sparkling water with a splash of citrus or a ginger-infused iced tea can provide a refreshing contrast to the savory and sweet notes of the bacon-wrapped asparagus.
How long can I store the leftovers?
Bacon-wrapped asparagus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, simply place them in the preheated oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
