Asparagus Stacks With Pancetta & Sweet Hibiscus Cream
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Sweet Hibiscus Sea Salt
- Olive oil for drizzling
- Black pepper
- 20 asparagus spears, raw ends trimmed
- 5 slices of pancetta, thinly sliced
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and sweet hibiscus sea salt together and stir until salt is evenly distributed. Set aside.
- Lightly drizzle asparagus spears in olive oil and season with black pepper. Divide the asparagus into stacks of four. Gather the spears and carefully add a generous spoonful of cream cheese onto the middle of the asparagus stack. Wrap the bundle with a slice of pancetta to secure the spears together, covering the cream cheese mixture. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Place bundles on baking sheet. Bake 15-17 minutes until pancetta is crisp.
