Directions
Preheat oven to 400˚F. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, spray lightly with cooking spray and set aside.
Add shallots to small sauce pan with a touch of olive oil. Sauté over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until starting to soften. Add honey, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil; simmer one minute.
In small cup, combine corn starch and water, whisking until corn starch dissolves. Add to sauce pan and stir well. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Trim woody ends off asparagus. Peel carrots and trim ends; cut in half crosswise, then quarter the top half and halve the lower half, so you get 6 strips out of each carrot.
Gather 2 asparagus spears, 2 carrot strips and 2 green beans and wrap with 1 strip of bacon. Place on prepared baking sheet. Continue with remaining ingredients, making 9 bundles total.
Reserve half glaze in clean container, then brush remaining glaze on veggie bundles. Bake for 10 minutes, then rotate pan and continue baking another 8-10 minutes, or until veggies and bacon are cooked through.
Reheat remaining glaze. Plate veggie bundles and brush with remaining glaze. Serve immediately.
