Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 12 slices low sodium bacon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika.
Place about 8-10 green beans in a bundle and wrap a slice of low sodium bacon around the center of each bundle, securing it with a toothpick if needed.
Brush the green bean bundles with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on top of each wrap for a hint of sweetness.
Arrange the wrapped bundles on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the green beans are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low sodium bacon wrapped green beans!
