Ingredients
- 1 pound Fresh green beans
- 8 slices Bacon
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Trim the ends off the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
Cut each bacon slice in half so you have 16 shorter strips. Set aside.
Step 4
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 5
Take about 6-8 green beans (depending on their size) and bundle them together. Wrap a half slice of bacon around the bundle, securing it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining green beans and bacon.
Step 6
Arrange the green bean bundles on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the brown sugar glaze evenly over the bundles.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is bubbling.
Step 8
Remove the green bean bundles from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Meg's Green Bean Bundles!
