Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices Thick-cut bacon
- 12 pieces Carrot sticks
- 12 pieces Asparagus spears
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 24 pieces Optional: toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks approximately the same size as the asparagus spears.
Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into strips that are similar in size to the carrot sticks and asparagus.
Place all vegetables in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Lay a slice of bacon on a flat surface and place one piece of each vegetable (carrot stick, asparagus spear, bell pepper strip, zucchini strip) at one end of the bacon.
Roll the bacon tightly around the vegetables and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Place the bacon-wrapped vegetables seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining bacon and vegetables.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
