Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 8 slices low-sodium turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the green beans. Blanch for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain immediately and plunge into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, and lemon zest.
Place the green beans in the bowl with the olive oil mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Take a small bundle of about 8-10 green beans and wrap a slice of low-sodium turkey bacon tightly around the middle. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Place the bacon-wrapped 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.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
