Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Green bundles of asparagus are wrapped in savory bacon and roasted to tender perfection.

Ingredients :

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Rinse the asparagus, dab dry and break off any woody ends.
Place bacon in a pan and partially cook (do not crisp or brown) over medium heat for about 5 minutes or air fryer for 3-4 minutes.
Place asparagus on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
Wrap 5 asparagus spears with one slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick and place on the same baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bundles.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until asparagus is tender and bacon is crisp. Broil 1 minute if desired.
