Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh green beans
- 12 pieces bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 12 pieces toothpicks
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat them dry with paper towels.
Divide the green beans into 12 equal portions (approximately 6–8 beans per bundle).
Wrap each portion of green beans with a slice of bacon, securing the bundle with a toothpick.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, garlic powder, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Place the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush each bundle generously with the prepared glaze using a basting brush.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2–3 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, and enjoy!
