Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 8 bacon slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
Take a small handful of green beans (about 8-10 beans) and wrap it with a slice of bacon, starting at one end and spiraling around to the other end. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining green beans and bacon slices.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 5
Using a pastry brush, generously brush the olive oil mixture over the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles, making sure to coat them evenly.
Step 6
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and fully cooked.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute or two before serving. Enjoy your delicious bacon-wrapped green beans as a fantastic side dish to complement any meal.
