Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Take approximately 10-15 green beans (depending on your preference) and bundle them together.
Wrap one slice of vegan bacon around each green bean bundle. Secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
Place each bundle on the prepared baking sheet with the bacon seam side down to prevent unraveling during cooking.
Drizzle maple syrup lightly over each wrapped bundle for added caramelization.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the vegan bacon is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan bacon-wrapped green beans!
