• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and trim the asparagus spears, ensuring they are roughly the same length.

Step 3

Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks about the same length and thickness as the asparagus.

Step 4

Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise, and slice into sticks similar to the other vegetables.

Step 5

In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Add the prepared vegetables to the bowl and toss them in the seasoned olive oil until well coated.

Step 7

Take one slice of turkey bacon and wrap it around each vegetable stick or bundle (you can mix different vegetables in one wrap), securing with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 8

Place the bacon-wrapped vegetables on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.

Step 9

Sprinkle fresh thyme over the wrapped vegetables.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is crispy and the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
