optional seasonings: olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears. Group 2-3 spears together, and wrap each bundle tightly with a strip of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling to the other.
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. For added flavor, brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Serve immediately, garnished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flair.
