Bacon Wrapped Green Beans
Bacon Wrapped Green Beans are as delicious as they look! Crispy bacon wrapped around green bean bundles seasoned with brown sugar and spices.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds green beans trimmed
- 8 slices regular cut bacon
- canola or olive oil
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 Sprigs of fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place your bacon strips on the sheet. Cook for 10-14 minutes, until bacon is starting to brown and stiffen, but remains pliable.
- In a medium saucepan bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the green beans and cook for 2 minutes. Immediately remove them to the bowl of ice water to shock them to stop the cooking process. Dry with paper towels once beans are cooled.
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Line another baking sheet with foil.
- Gather green beans in bundles of 9-12 beans and wrap a slice of par-cooked bacon around the middle. Lay on the baking sheet, tucking the end of the slice of bacon underneath the bundle. Leave at least 2 inches of space between each bundle.
- Top each bundle with a drizzle of oil, sprinkle of salt and pepper, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon brown sugar and a sprig of thyme. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until bacon crisps up and green beans are tender crisp.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Fresh green beans are best. Frozen vegetables are already cooked, so you'll need to shorten the time so they don't become mushy.
