Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Toss 24 trimmed asparagus spears with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. Step 3: Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet and brush each with 3 tbsp maple syrup, coating the bacon thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 3 minutes before serving warm as a flavorful Father’s Day side dish.
