Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus
• 8 slices bacon
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Wash and trim the asparagus, removing the tough ends (about 1-2 inches).

3. 3

   In a large bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom and spiraling up to the tip. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

5. 5

   Place the wrapped asparagus spears on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the wrapped spears with additional salt, black pepper, and parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

7. 7

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.

9. 9

   Serve warm as a delicious snack or appetizer.
