Every once in a while in the Staples household, we get fancy. Remember, we have a 16-month old (who wolfed down two of these entire “packs” of asparagus AND salmon – wow!), so we don’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen. These are the perfect appetizer or side dish to make for parties or a romantic dinner because they take all of 5 minutes to prep and about 10-12 minutes to bake. They taste amazing too!
Note: Wondering if bacon is clean? We buy the best cuts of organic bacon we can find. This means humanely raised, pasture-raised pork with very little to no sugars.
