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. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the green beans in a large mixing bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss the green beans until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Take a small bundle of about 6-8 green beans and wrap a slice of vegetarian bacon around the center of the bundle. Secure the bacon slice with a toothpick if necessary to hold the bundle together.
Place the green bean bundles on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all the green beans are wrapped.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetarian bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bundles cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
