How to Make Asparagus Wrapped In Bacon

Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
Snap off the tough bottom 1/2 - 1 inch of each asparagus spear. Discard the ends. Asparagus spears should be approximately 4-5 inches long.
In a large bowl, toss 1 pound of asparagus spears with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Separate asparagus into bundles of 3-4 spears.
Wrap each bundle tightly with 1 slice of uncooked bacon (about 6-8 slices depending on the size of the asparagus bundles).
Arrange the bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Broil for 5 minutes, then flip and broil for another 5 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender.
