Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Toss the asparagus with olive oil and pepper.
  3. Gather the spears into small bundles and wrap each with a slice of bacon.
  4. Sprinkle the bundles with brown sugar.

Notes

A little brown sugar helps the bacon caramelize beautifully.
