Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces asparagus spears
- 12 pieces turkey bacon slices
- 1 bottle olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears.
Cut each slice of turkey bacon in half crosswise, creating 24 smaller pieces of bacon.
Wrap one piece of turkey bacon around each asparagus spear starting from about an inch from the bottom and spiraling up towards the tip. Lay each wrapped spear on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all asparagus are wrapped, spray them lightly with olive oil spray to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon zest. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the bacon-wrapped asparagus.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a side dish.
