Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces fresh green beans
- 12 slices bacon slices
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise, creating 24 smaller pieces of bacon.
Wrap each green bean with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Repeat until all green beans are wrapped and placed on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the brown sugar, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Using a pastry brush, generously brush the butter mixture over each bacon-wrapped green bean rollup, ensuring an even coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let the rollups cool for a few minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy!
