INGREDIENTS

1 pound thin asparagus, stalks trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

12 slices turkey bacon

Honey Dijon Sauce

1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon honey

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Place asparagus on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until asparagus and the sheet pan are lightly coated with oil.

Tightly wrap a piece of turkey bacon around 3 pieces of asparagus and set on the sheet pan seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining asparagus.

Bake 12–15 minutes, just until bacon begins to crisp and asparagus is fork-tender.

Meanwhile, prepare the Honey Dijon Sauce by combining all ingredients in a small serving bowl. Serve alongside the wrapped asparagus for dipping.

Mona’s Tips: I like to make this with thin asparagus in bundles of 3, but thicker asparagus can be wrapped in bundles of 2.

Ingredient Insider: I always look for organic, uncured turkey bacon, as it is nitrate-free and much lower in sodium.
