Roasted Balsamic Asparagus Bundles

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray. Trim the tough ends from the asparagus, wash and pat dry.

Slice the bacon lengthwise into thirds. Working at an angle, wrap 4 or 5 asparagus spears around the middle with a strip of bacon and arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Moderately drizzle olive oil and balsamic over the entire sheet. Grind some pepper over the top, and sprinkle desired amount of salt. Roast for 5 minutes before checking. Give the pan a good shake to distribute the oils at this point. Roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until cooked to your preference.

Transfer to a plate and serve!
