4) Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 12 slices bacon cut in half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar optional

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 400°F and cover the baking sheet with foil.
  2. Toss beans with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grab about 8-10 beans and take one half-slice of bacon and wrap it around the center. Tuck the end under.
  4. If you're using brown sugar, sprinkle it on the sheet after placing the bundles seam-side down.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes until the bacon is crisp. Turn it over after 10 minutes for even browning.
  6. Before serving, allow it to rest for 3 minutes so the bacon firms up.
