👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1--- Cut the asparagus ---
2. 2First, wash and dry the asparagus.
3. 3Grasp the stem at each end and apply gentle pressure, bending it until it naturally breaks apart.

8. 8Place the trimmed and peeled asparagus spears on a baking dish.
9. 9Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.
10. 10Toss the asparagus gently with your hands to ensure they are well coated in oil and seasonings.
11. 11Then, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over them and add crumbled bacon pieces.
12. 12Carefully place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 12-15 minutes until the asparagus spears are tender and slightly browned.
