Maple-Flavored Monk Fruit-Sweetened Syrup Asparagus Bundles everyone will love!
Since maple syrup is high in sugar and carbohydrate content, I substituted Lakanto Maple-Flavored Syrup in for sweetness in this recipe. I love having a bottle of this in my pantry for enhancing the flavor of bacon or to drizzle on top of my Low-Carb Pancakes or Vegan Keto Baked Pancakes!
Lakanto’s Maple-Flavored Syrup is sweetened with monk fruit sweetener, a naturally-occurring, net-carb-free, and zero calorie sweetener. In addition to the syrup, we also use Lakanto’s granulated Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener and Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener daily. Lakanto products are my personal favorite pantry-staples since I began a ketogenic, primal way of eating!
If you are looking for a sweetener that tastes like sugar and is low-carb, keto, vegan, and paleo-compliant, I highly recommend trying Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener! You can use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off your total order!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- To a small pot over medium low heat, add maple-flavored syrup, butter, salt, and pepper and bring to a light boil, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Split asparagus stalks into 8 groups. Wrap bacon slices around grouped asparagus stalks, starting about 1/2 inch from the bottom, and secure bacon slice with toothpick. Transfer bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles to casserole dish.
- Pour syrup mixture into casserole dish atop bundled asparagus and sprinkle half of grated parmesan (~10g) on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
- While asparagus bundles cook in oven, place baking rack atop a foil-lined line baking sheet.
- Remove casserole dish from oven and transfer baked bundles to prepared baking rack (rotating them so the side that was baked down is now up), turn on oven broiler, and broil until bacon is crispy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove baking sheet from oven, remove toothpicks from bundles, sprinkle remaining grated parmesan on top, and allow to cool slightly prior to serving.
