Place the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Add optional garlic powder or lemon zest.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until bacon is crispy.
Check for doneness; asparagus should be tender.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
