Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices low sodium bacon
- 12 pieces asparagus spears
- 12 pieces carrot sticks
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: Peel and cut the carrot into 12 sticks, each about the length of a bacon slice. Slice the red bell pepper and zucchini into strips similar in size to the carrots. Trim the asparagus spears to remove any woody ends.
In a large bowl, toss all the prepared vegetables with olive oil, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Take a slice of low sodium bacon and lay it flat. Place one piece each of carrot, asparagus, and a slice of red bell pepper and zucchini at one end of the bacon slice. Roll the bacon up over the veggies to form a tight bundle.
Repeat this process with the remaining bacon slices and vegetables. Place each completed roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium bacon-wrapped vegetables warm, as an appetizer or side!
