Ingredients
- 20 stalks asparagus with ends trimmed
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt/pepper
- 10 slices bacon cut in half lengthwise
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Swerve
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed cookie sheet and set aside.

- Wrap each bacon strip tightly around an asparagus stalk, starting about ½ inch from the tip of the asparagus stalk. Place onto the prepared wire rack.
- In a small pot, heat brown swerve, butter, and cayenne (if using) over high heat. Stir often, until it is melted and bubbly for about 3 minutes.
