Grilled Pancetta-Wrapped Asparagus

This grilled pancetta-wrapped asparagus is a sophisticated yet simple addition to any summer spread. By wrapping seasonal asparagus spears in delicate slices of salty pancetta, you create a beautiful contrast between the crisp, slightly charred vegetable and the savoury, golden meat. It is an ideal choice for outdoor dining and makes a wonderful light starter or a vibrant side dish for roasted meats.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe focuses on high-quality fats and fibre-rich vegetables without the need for sugary marinades. Using skewers makes the spears much easier to turn on the grill, ensuring even cooking and consistent flavour. Serve these skewers immediately while the pancetta is crisp for a healthy, low-carbohydrate treat that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients for Grilled Pancetta-Wrapped Asparagus

  • 450g medium asparagus (1/2 inch thick

  • 12 to 15)

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 12 to 15 thin slices pancetta

How to make Grilled Pancetta-Wrapped Asparagus

Prepare a grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).

Trim asparagus to 6 inches long, then toss with oil and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a small dish. Wrap middle of each asparagus with 1 slice of pancetta. Thread 3 or 4 wrapped asparagus 1/2 inch apart onto each skewer.

Oil grill rack, then grill asparagus, uncovered, turning, until pancetta is golden brown in spots and asparagus is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
