Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 F Line strips of bacon on the baking sheet. Use parchment paper if you're using a metal baking sheet; skip the parchment if you're using stoneware (recommended).
2. Cook bacon for 15-20 minutes, or until desired crispness. Transfer bacon to paper towel and drain all but 1 Tbsp of bacon grease from the pan.
3. Trim asparagus ends. Spread spears onto the baking sheet, rolling them around to coat in reserved bacon fat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and crumble on cooked bacon. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until tender.
4. Squeeze on juice of half a lemon before serving.
