Ingredients

• 5 strips bacon
• 1 1/2 lbs. asparagus, trimmed
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• Black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425. Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Cut each strip of bacon in half lengthwise. Divide the asparagus into 10 bunches and wind half a bacon strip around each bunch. Drizzle the asparagus bundles with the olive oil, gently turning to make sure the tips are well coated.

2. Arrange the asparagus bundles on the prepared rack. Season with salt and black pepper. Brush the bacon with the maple syrup.

3. Roast until the asparagus is tender and the bacon is crispy and caramelized, 30 to 35 minutes.
