The best bacon-wrapped vegetable recipes — so you can eat your greens and love them, too

Impact

So you have trouble eating your veggies. 

We can understand your take: Why choose broccoli when bacon exists? Well, why not combine the powers? Since multiple servings of fruits and vegetables are essential to a balanced, healthy diet, wrapping greens in bacon is a great way to get a hearty dose of two essentials. 

Sure, bacon-wrapped and deep fried veggies aren't as heart healthy as say, a salad or crudité, but small steps. Up your veggie-eating game with these bacon-wrapped vegetable recipes that feel just healthy enough to sneak in that extra serving of vegetables.
