The Ingredients:

How To Make Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bunches

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Cook full bacon strips on the stovetop until slightly cooked (not crispy), about 3-4 minutes. Reserve any drippings.
  3. Trim and wash green beans. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add baking soda. Add green beans and cook 3 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from boiling water and place in a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
  4. Dab beans dry and toss with reserved bacon drippings (about 2 teaspoons) or olive oil if you don’t have drippings, garlic powder, and salt & pepper to taste.
  5. Cut each slice of bacon in half and wrap around about 5-7 green beans, secure with a toothpick, and place on a parchment-lined pan.
  6. Combine brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of water and lightly brush over each bundle.
  7. Roast 20-22 minutes or until bacon is crisp and beans are lightly roasted.
