Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 20 spears)
- 10 strips of halal turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and trim the asparagus, removing the woody ends.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with half a strip of turkey bacon, securing the ends if needed.
- Place the wrapped asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.
- Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

- Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips:
For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a sprinkle of brown sugar on the bacon before baking. If you’re new to wrapping, using toothpicks can help secure the bacon during cooking.
Storage Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5-7 minutes.
Ingredient Substitutions:
If turkey bacon isn’t available, you can use beef bacon or any other halal bacon alternative. For a more keto-friendly option, skip the balsamic glaze and add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan before serving.
