This is a fun alternative to prosciutto wrapped asparagus but requires a little more work to ensure they are crispy and not soggy.

1-2 bunches of asparagus
Avocado oil
Sea salt
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a metal baking rack on top of paper (a metal cooling rack for baked goods works well).
Rinse the asparagus.
Lightly mist the asparagus with oil and add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut the bacon lengthwise into 2 strips.
Wrap one strip of bacon around 2 asparagus stalks.
Place onto metal rack without stalks overlapping.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Broil on high for 2-4 minutes to brown more fully and remove any excess moisture.
