Wash asparagus and pat dry. Trim off the woody stem - usually the bottom 2 inches.

Tightly wrap the bacon around the asparagus in bunches of 3 or 4 and place on a foil lined baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet in the oven (with the oven rack on the upper middle slot), then turn it on to 400 degrees.

The bacon wrapped asparagus should be in the oven during the preheat phase.

Bake for a total time of 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp.
