Green Bean Bundles
Description
This recipe assembles bundles of 6-10 fresh green beans wrapped tightly in a single slice of thin-cut bacon. The bundles are topped with melted butter, brown sugar, and garlic salt before baking. The green beans are briefly microwaved to tenderize before wrapping, ensuring a crisp yet soft vegetable inside the bacon’s crisp edges. The brown sugar caramelizes on the bacon surface, lending sweetness to the savory bacon and garlic seasoning.
Baking at 350°F for 18-20 minutes crisps the bacon and warms the bundles through. Broiling briefly on both sides intensifies the crispness of the bacon wrapping if desired. These bundles complement a variety of main dishes, offering a flavorful vegetable option with protein and a touch of sweetness from the sugar glaze.
Preparation can be partially done ahead by assembling bundles and refrigerating them before baking. Leftovers keep for a few days refrigerated and can be reheated in a pan over medium heat to retain texture without drying out.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Green bean fresh
- 6 trips Bacon thin cut
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- garlic salt to taste
Instructions
- Put green beans in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with water. Cook on high for 3 minutes, or until green beans are tender.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. lightly grease a baking sheet and set aside.
- Gather 6-10 green beans into a bundle and wrap with 1 piece of bacon. Secure bacon with a toothpick. Repeat to make 6 bundles.
- Place bundles on the prepared baking sheet (or a wire rack over an aluminium foil-lined baking sheet). Sprinkle with melted butter, brown sugar and garlic salt.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes. For extra crispiness, broil for 1 minute, then flip bundles and broil for 1 minute on the other side.
Notes
- Bundles can be prepared through seasoning and assembly in advance; keep refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days and reheat covered over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to maintain moisture.
