Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

1 lb or 1 large bunch asparagus
4 slices bacon (be sure it's compliant!) or prosciutto
1 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 400. Wash and pat dry the asparagus. Separate into four equal sized bunches. Wrap each with bacon, overlapping the bacon as little as possible. This will prevent undercooked parts of the bacon and allow as much fat to render as possible. Use a toothpick if necessary on the underside of each bunch to help hold the bacon together. Lay each bunch on a slotted pan or use a cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet (this allows the fat to drip away from the bacon). Drizzle with olive oil. Place in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon is cooked well and the asparagus is crispy. Sprinkle with pepper and salt to taste and enjoy!

Serves 4
