(Adapted, barely, from Molly Steven’s recipe in All About Roasting)

Serves 2 (multiplies easily for more servings)

½ pound asparagus

2 slices thin bacon

Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 425˚ with the oven rack in the center of the oven.

2. Make 2 bundles of asparagus and wrap each one with a strip of bacon.

3. Place the bundles on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, if desired. Generously grind some black pepper over the bundles.

4. Roast for about 12 minutes, and then turn the bundles over. (Easily done with tongs.)

5. Roast for about 12 minutes more, until the bacon looks done, and enjoy!
