Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 12 pieces vegetarian bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Trim the ends off the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Take a bundle of about 8-10 green beans and wrap a strip of vegetarian bacon around the middle of the bundle. Secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining green beans and vegetarian bacon, placing each bundle on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down.
Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar evenly over each bundle for a delightful caramelized finish.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetarian bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Remove from the oven and let the bundles cool slightly before transferring them to a serving plate.
Serve warm as an appetizer or a tasty side dish.
