Asparagus Wrapped in Bacon

This recipe is simple and delicious.  It can be used as an appetizer or as a side for the main dish.  For a healthier version use turkey bacon.

What You Need
4 slices of bacon or turkey bacon
1 lb. thin fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
Seasoning to taste


Instructions:
HEAT oven to 400ºF.

PLACE bacon in single layer on paper towel-lined microwaveable plate. Microwave on HIGH 1 to 1-1/2 min. or until bacon starts to cook but is not crisp. 

DIVIDE asparagus into 4 small bunches. Wrap 1 bacon slice, in spiral-fashion around each asparagus bundle. Place on rack of foil-lined broiler pan.

BAKE 20 to 22 min. or until bacon is crisp and asparagus is crisp-tender.
