Ashley's Notes:

This is a crowd pleaser! I always make way too much and somehow never make it home with extras ;)

Directions

Rinse and cut the asparagus to about 4 inch tips, then toss asparagus in large mixing bowl with EVOO, salt/pepper, garlic, and onion powder

Cut the bacon package in half to shorten the pieces. Then wrap the bacon tightly from the tip, leaving no more than a half inch of green

Lay on nonstick cookie sheet with the free end of the bacon down and add fresh cracked pepper to the bacon. Turn on Broiler right before placing on the bottom rack of the oven.

Broil on bottom rack until bacon starts to brown and sizzle (about 5 minutes) flip all pieces over gently with tongs and repeat (5 more minutes)

Remove from cookie sheet and lay on paper towels to remove excess grease

Very lightly drizzle no more than ¼ cup of syrup over the asparagus after arranging on a platter... ENJOY!!

This looks real good. My hubby and I live and travel in our motor-home we love to entertain. I am going to try this and serve at the next gathering. The only thing differ is I will have to bake my bacon I don't have a broiler in my motor-home. but I am sure it wouldn't matter.

What the heck is "EVOO"?

I figured it out - 'Extra Virgin Olive Oil.' Just a suggestion... I would edit your recipe to just say 'olive oil'. Maybe put the EV in front of it, if you want to make sure that Extra Virgin is used.

Holy smokes this looks good! Samantha, you need to watch more Rachel Ray. :) She always, always refers to extra virgin olive oil as EVOO and it has come into the foodie lexicon.
