Savory Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Bundles

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2.Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim the woody ends, leaving the tender parts.

3.In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and lemon juice.

4.Place the asparagus spears in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil mixture over them. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.

5.Divide the asparagus spears into bundles of 4-5 spears each.

6.Wrap each bundle tightly with a slice of bacon, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Secure the ends with a toothpick if necessary.

7.Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

8.Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of each bundle.

9.Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.

10.Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving if used.
