Instructions
Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
Arrange bacon on a large baking stone or sheet pan that's lined with parchment paper.
Cook bacon for 20 minutes, or until cooked, but NOT crispy. Remove pan from oven and drain bacon on paper toweling.
Wrap each spear of uncooked asparagus with one slice of cooked bacon. Arrange spears in a skillet and if desired, sprinkle with salt. Cook bacon wrapped asparagus over medium high heat for approximately 5 minutes, using tongs to turn spears occasionally to assure that all sides get crisply cooked.
Remove from skillet and if needed, drain on paper toweling before serving.
