- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then arrange them into bundles of about 8-10 beans each.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt.
Step 4
Lay a slice of nitrate-free turkey bacon on a clean surface. Place a bundle of green beans at one end and roll the bacon tightly around the beans to secure them. Place the wrapped bundle seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Repeat the process with the remaining green bean bundles and turkey bacon slices.
Step 6
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each bacon-wrapped bundle with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
