Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Slice the tough ends off the bottom of the asparagus spears with a sharp knife.
Take 5 asparagus spears and wrap 2 slices of bacon around each one. Repeat until you've made 8 bundles. Set the bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a small bowl and brush the mixture onto the asparagus bundles generously.
Sprinkle some freshly cracked black pepper over the bundles.
Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus has softened and the bacon is lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
