Ingredients

12 slices regular thickness bacon
12 asparagus spears, thick ends trimmed by snapping off the ends
1-2 tsp. Dijon Mustard
pinch red chili flakes (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 425°F\220°C. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
On a plate place 2 sheets paper towel, then 6 slices bacon, then 2 sheets paper towel, then 6 slices bacon, topped with 2 more paper towels. Microwave 2 minutes. This will get a lot of the fat off while still making the bacon pliable enough to work with.
Wrap one slice of bacon around each asparagus spears. Lay it down on a baking sheet.
Glaze: In a small bowl, combine mustard and chili flakes.
Roast bundles for 8-10 minutes. Turn bundles over. Using a silicone basting brush, brush the asparagus bundles with glaze. Roast another 8 minutes or until bacon is brown and asparagus is cooked.
