Trim the tough, woody ends by snapping the asparagus near the base; the stalk will naturally break where the tough part begins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 2: Season the Asparagus<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Season<\/strong>: In a large bowl, drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, ensuring all spears are lightly coated. Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the asparagus, tossing to evenly coat each spear with spices for an enhanced flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Wrap with Bacon<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Wrap<\/strong>: Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around 3-4 asparagus spears, starting at the bottom and spiraling upwards. Continue until each bundle is securely wrapped. Repeat with the remaining spears until all are bundled.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 4: Cook the Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Preheat the Oven<\/strong>: Set oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arrange on Baking Sheet<\/strong>: Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. For an extra crispy finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 5: Garnish and Serve<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Garnish<\/strong>: Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle each bundle with grated Parmesan cheese for added richness. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serve<\/strong>: Transfer the crispy bacon-wrapped asparagus to a serving dish and enjoy this delightful appetizer or side dish while warm.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Recipe Summary<\/h2>\n<p>This delectable Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus recipe combines the savory indulgence of bacon with the fresh crunch of asparagus.
