Ingredients
- 1 pound Asparagus
- 8 slices Vegetarian bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends, usually about 1 to 2 inches from the base. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Brush each asparagus spear lightly with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Take a slice of vegetarian bacon and wrap it tightly around an asparagus spear, starting at one end and spiraling to the other. Secure the end by tucking it under the spiral or using a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining asparagus and bacon slices.
Step 6
Place the wrapped asparagus spears in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the vegetarian bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
Step 9
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish and enjoy!
