Trim the tough asparagus bottoms, then wash and pat it dry. Slice each strip of bacon down the center into two long, thin pieces.
Wrap a length of bacon corkscrew fashion around each asparagus spear and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the top third of a COLD OVEN. Yes, you read that right. A cold oven. The wrapped asparagus needs be in the oven during preheat so the bacon will hold its shape. Turn the oven to 400° and bake about 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp. Serve it immediately.
