Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh green beans
- 8 pieces bacon strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the green beans and trim the ends. Blanch the green beans by boiling them in salted water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Lay out the bacon strips on a cutting board. If the bacon strips are long, cut them in half to make it easier to wrap.
Take 6-8 green beans and bundle them together. Lay a strip of bacon flat, then wrap it tightly around the green bean bundle, starting at one end and working your way to the other. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the wrapped bundles seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring, until the mixture is melted and combined into a glaze.
Using a pastry brush, generously brush the glaze over each green bean roll up.
Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
