Make the Asparagus Bundles:

Preheat your oven to 450℉ (or 230℃).

Trim off the tough ends from a large bunch of asparagus. You need 3 to 4 spears per bundle, so when picking out asparagus, grab a bundle of at least 30 spears.

Secure the bacon with a toothpick. This will help keep the bacon in place when roasting.

Place the wrapped asparagus onto a wire rack (set into a rimmed baking sheet) that has been sprayed with olive oil. Spray the tops of each bundle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle just the asparagus with kosher salt and the bacon with coarse black pepper.
