Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

1 lb or 1 large bunch asparagus
4 slices bacon (be sure it’s compliant) or prosciutto
1 tsp olive oil
⅛ tsp pepper

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