Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Divide asparagus into bundles (about 3-4 pieces per bundle). Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each bundle. Secure bundle and bacon with a toothpick. Place asparagus bundles in a baking pan.

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, and garlic salt. Heat the mixture until boiling. Stir often. Once heated, pour mixture over asparagus bundles. Sprinkle with fresh ground pepper.

Bake 25 minutes or until bacon is cooked.

Garnish with sliced green onions, optional.
