Instructions
Creating Bacon Green Bean Bundles is a simple process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that the bundles cook evenly and the bacon gets crispy.
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Ensure they are all about the same length for even cooking.
3. Wrap the Beans: Take a small handful of green beans (about 5-6) and bundle them together. Wrap a slice of bacon around the bundle, starting from one end and spiraling to the other. Secure it with a toothpick if necessary.
4. Season: Place the bundles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over them. If desired, add a sprinkle of brown sugar for a hint of sweetness.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The bacon should be crispy and the green beans tender.
6. Check for Doneness: After 20 minutes, check the bundles. If the bacon isn’t crispy enough, give them an additional 5 minutes.
7. Remove and Cool: Once done, remove the bundles from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
These steps will guide you to create these delightful bundles that are sure to impress.
