Crispy, savory, and genuinely impressive on the plate, this dish proves that eating for an autoimmune protocol doesn't mean settling for boring food. The key is keeping every ingredient clean and compliant — uncured, sugar-free bacon with no added spices does the heavy lifting here, wrapping around tender asparagus spears for a combination that's both satisfying and deeply flavorful. A touch of turmeric and sea salt keep the seasoning simple and protocol-friendly, while a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end brightens everything up beautifully. Roasting on a wire rack at high heat means the bacon crisps up all the way around without any flipping or fussing, and those slightly charred asparagus tips are genuinely irresistible. It comes together in under 30 minutes and serves four, making it an easy weeknight side or a crowd-pleasing appetizer when you need something that looks like you tried much harder than you did.
