Ingredients
- 600 grams fresh green beans
- 12 slices vegan bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Blanch them in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 4
Wrap about 6 to 8 green beans with a slice of vegan bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all green beans are wrapped.
Step 5
Place the wrapped green beans onto the prepared baking tray. Use a brush to coat each bundle with the marinade.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the vegan bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then serve as an appetizer or side dish.
