Questions

How long does Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat covered in a 300 F oven until warmed through. It also freezes well for up to three months.

Can I halve or double Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
