Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the asparagus spears.
Peel and cut the carrots into sticks approximately the size of the asparagus spears.
Slice the bell peppers into strips about the same size as the asparagus and carrot sticks.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Add the asparagus, carrot, and bell pepper strips to the bowl, tossing well to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
Take a strip of vegetarian bacon and wrap it around a piece of vegetable (asparagus, carrot, or bell pepper). Start at one end and spiral the bacon around the vegetable. Secure both ends with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat the process for all the vegetable pieces.
Place the wrapped vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetarian bacon is crispy and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegetarian bacon-wrapped vegetables!
