- 1 pound fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 12 thin slices bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the trimmed asparagus spears with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Group the asparagus into 4 bundles, with about 5-7 spears per bundle.
- Wrap each bundle tightly with 3 slices of bacon, securing the ends.
- Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the bundles now.
- Continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For crispier bacon, you can start the bundles on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
- If you prefer grilling, cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning often until the bacon is done.
- For an air fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes.
