Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 8 slices turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon 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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. If desired, cut them in half for shorter bundles.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Take about eight green beans and wrap them with a slice of turkey bacon, securing the ends by tucking them beneath the bundle. Alternatively, use a toothpick to keep the bacon in place.
Step 5
Repeat the process until all green beans and turkey bacon slices are used up.
Step 6
Place the green bean bundles on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Step 8
After 15 minutes, turn on the broiler and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to crisp up the bacon. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 9
Once they are cooked to your liking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish or an appetizer.
