Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 slices of hickory-smoked bacon
  • 2 bundles of asparagus about 18 to 20 asparagus spears, ends trimmed
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Zest and juice of 1 small lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wrap your bacon slices around 4 to 5 asparagus to make a bundle, and place each bundle on your baking sheet, in an even layer.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and add over parmesan cheese. Transfer to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway until your bacon is cooked and crispy, and the asparagus has softened with a bite to it.
  • Remove from the oven, finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice to serve.
