Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 12 slices bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then blanch them in a pot of boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes. Drain and quickly rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, toss the blanched green beans with olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well-coated.
Divide the green beans into 12 equal portions, and wrap each portion tightly with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Transfer the bundles to a serving platter and remove any toothpicks. Serve immediately.
