Recipe FAQs

What syrup is used?

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!

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!

How many net carbs per serving?

These contain 2.9 grams of net carbs per serving. The recipe yields 8 asparagus bundles.

What diets is this recipe is compliant with?

  • Keto and Low-Carb: These asparagus bundles are low in carbohydrates and are very keto-friendly! One serving contains only 2.9 grams of net carbs.
  • Nut-Free: This recipe is entirely nut-free.
  • Egg-Free: This recipe does not contain any egg-containing products.
  • Coconut-Free: There are no coconut products in these asparagus bundles.
  • Gluten-Free and Grain-Free: This recipe is free from gluten and grains.
  • Refined-Sugar-Free: These are free from refined-sugar as the sweetness and maple flavor in this recipe comes from monk fruit-sweetened maple-flavored syrup.

Description

These Bacon-Wrapped Maple Parmesan Asparagus Bundles are a delicious low-carb and keto-friendly party appetizer or side dish! This recipe is keto, low-carb, nut-free, egg-free, coconut-free, gluten-free, grain-free, refined-sugar-free, and contains only 2.9 grams of net carbs per serving!


Ingredients

  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1/2 cup maple-flavored syrup (use code “REALBALANCED” for 20% off Lakanto products)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 lbs fresh asparagus, ends chopped off
  • 20g (2 tbsp + 2 tsp) grated parmesan, divided

Materials:

  • 8 toothpicks
  • Casserole dish
  • Baking rack
  • Baking sheet

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Lay bacon slices on baking sheet in even layer, transfer to oven, and bake until bacon turns a slightly darker color, but is still very flexible, around 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness of bacon (be careful to not overcook, or you won’t be able to wrap the bacon around the asparagus bundles). Remove bacon from oven and set aside to cool. Keep baking sheet out as you’ll use it again.
  3. 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.
  4. Split asparagus stalks into 8 groups. Wrap cooled 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.
  5. Pour syrup mixture into casserole dish atop bundled asparagus and sprinkle half of grated parmesan (~10g) on top. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
  6. While asparagus bundles cook in oven, place baking rack atop foil- or parchment paper-lined line baking sheet you used previously.
  7. Remove casserole dish from oven and transfer baked asparagus bundles to 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.
  8. Remove baking sheet from oven, remove toothpicks from bundles, sprinkle remaining grated parmesan on top, and allow to cool slightly prior to serving.
