Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss 24 trimmed asparagus spears with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl to coat evenly.
  2. Step 2: Divide the asparagus into 8 bundles of 3 spears each. Wrap each bundle tightly with one half-slice of bacon, securing the ends underneath.
  3. Step 3: Place the bundles on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper, spacing evenly.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Brush each bacon-wrapped asparagus bundle generously with the honey mustard glaze.
  6. Step 6: Bake the bundles for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender, brushing with additional glaze halfway through baking for extra shine and flavor.
