Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9×13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce and Sriracha, if using; set aside.
3. Lightly coat asparagus with olive oil; season with pepper, to taste.
4. Divide asparagus into 6 bundles, wrapping each bundle with a slice of bacon to secure the spears together.
5. Place asparagus bundles in a single layer into the prepared baking dish. Top with butter mixture.
6. Place into oven and bake until bacon is crisp and asparagus are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds, if desired.
