Ingredients

1 bunch - asparagus
2 tablespoons - olive oil
½ tsp - garlic powder
fine sea salt
pepper
6 slice - bacon
1 tbsp - maple syrup

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Divide the asparagus into 6 bundles. You could do more or less if desired. Mine ended up being 6 bundles of 5 asparagus spears each. Wrap the bacon around the middle of the asparagus bundles so that it overlaps a little (see photo for reference). Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and garlic powder until combined. Plush that all over the bacon and asparagus. Sprinkle to taste with salt and pepper.
Roast in the oven for 15-22 minutes or until your bacon is nicely cooked (it won't be very crispy at all). Once out of the oven, I recommend placing the bundles on a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the excess grease.
Optional: once out of the oven, brush the bacon with a little bit of maple syrup to add sweetness.
ENJOY!
