Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 6 slices nitrate-free turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then arrange them into bundles of about 8-10 beans each.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt.
Lay a slice of nitrate-free turkey bacon on a clean surface. Place a bundle of green beans at one end and roll the bacon tightly around the beans to secure them. Place the wrapped bundle seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining green bean bundles and turkey bacon slices.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each bacon-wrapped bundle with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the beans are tender.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool briefly. Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy side dish.
