Carrot Bacon BLT
Pardon us saying so but this B.L.T. is…. dynamite!
We put a spin on the classic for National BLT Month because we honestly believe that our favorites can be made healthier and if we can make them healthier, we can enjoy them more often. That’s called winning!
Even staunch disbelievers will love this sammie and the chef will appreciate that it takes about 30 minutes to whip up including the marinate time!!! You can also do this in the oven.
