Instructions
Creating Bacon Green Bean Bundles is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to ensure success:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. If they are particularly long, you may want to cut them in half.
3. Wrap with Bacon: Take about 4-5 green beans and bundle them together. Wrap a slice of bacon around the middle of the bundle. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
4. Season the Bundles: Place the bundles on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the top.
5. Add Sweetness (Optional): If you prefer a sweet touch, sprinkle brown sugar over the bundles before baking.
6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
