🥓 Oven-Roasted Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:

• 400°F (200°C), line a baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prep the asparagus:

• Wash and trim the woody ends.

• If spears are thick, you can peel the bottoms slightly or blanch them briefly for even cooking (optional).

3. Wrap ’em up:

• Take 3–4 spears and bundle them together.

• Wrap 1 slice of bacon around each bundle, starting at the base and spiraling upward.

• Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

4. Roast:

• Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway if you want extra crisp bacon on all sides.

• Bake until bacon is golden and slightly crisp and asparagus is tender.

🌟 Tips & Twists:

• Crispy Bacon Tip: Bake on a wire rack over the sheet so bacon fat drips off = extra crisp.

• Spicy Upgrade: Sprinkle with chili flakes before roasting.

• Gourmet Move: Drizzle with honey or balsamic glaze after baking for a sweet-savory touch.
