- Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around about 6-8 green beans, secure with a toothpick, and place on a parchment-lined pan.
- Combine brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of water and lightly brush over each bundle.
- Roast 20-22 minutes or until bacon is crisp and beans are lightly roasted.

Notes
- Pre-cook the bacon so that a lot of the fat is removed. This will help it crisp without overcooking the beans.
- Blanch (boil and then ice bath) the green beans for the best texture. Be sure to dry them well before wrapping.
