Very good but will put foil on the tops to keep them from cooking too long

Should you heat the tomatoes and oil before coating asparagus?

I have cooked this for years; however, I sprinkle a light coating of brown sugar over the bacon wrapped asparagus. We love it!!

Try using proscuitto ham instead of bacon...it's thinner and crisps up about the same time that the asparagus are cooked. Drizzle with a little garlic infused olive oil just before serving. Delicious and easy. You can also cook these a lower oven temp (350-375) using proscuitto which allows you to cook other things at the same time. Make these all the time; family loves them.

I don't understand what I did wrong. By the time my bacon was crispy, my asparagus was limp and WAY overdone.
