Bundles of Joy (Bacon-Wrapped Asaparagus)

Bundles of Joy(Bacon-wrapped asparagus)

 

1lb or 1 large bunch asparagus

4 slices of bacon or prosciutto

1 tsp olive oil

1/8 tsp pepper

 

Preheat oven to 400. Wash and pat dry asparagus. Separate into 4 equal sized bunches. Wrap each bunch with bacon, overlapping bacon as little as possible (this will prevent undercooked parts and allows more fat to render) use a toothpick if necessary on the underside of each bunch to help hold them together. Lay each bunch on a slotted pan or use a cooking rack on top of a baking sheet to allow the fat to drip away from the bacon. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. Place in the oven 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and asparagus is tender.
