Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut bacon into 1/2-inch strips and lay flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring no overlap to achieve crispiness.
  2. Step 2: Toss 12 asparagus spears with 1 tsp olive oil and 1/4 tsp garlic powder, then arrange them vertically on the baking sheet, placing 2 spears on each bacon strip and tucking the ends under to secure.
  3. Step 3: Bake for 18-20 minutes until bacon is golden and crisp, and asparagus is tender-crisp with slightly caramelized edges, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot asparagus and bacon, then return to oven for 2 minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.
