Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5
Brush the green bean bundles with the olive oil mixture and sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on top of each wrap for a hint of sweetness.
Step 6
Arrange the wrapped bundles on the prepared baking sheet with space between each.
