Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles (Print-Friendly Format)
Green beans wrapped in bacon, oven-roasted until crisp, finished with a sweet and savory glaze.
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ For the Bundles
01 -
450 g fresh green beans, trimmed
02 -
8-10 slices bacon, cut in half
03 -
15 ml olive oil
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
0.5 teaspoon salt
06 -
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
→ For the Glaze (Optional)
07 -
2 tablespoons brown sugar
08 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
09 -
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Wash and trim ends of green beans. For enhanced colour and tenderness, blanch beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then place in an ice bath to cool. Drain thoroughly.
03 -
Group 6-8 green beans and form compact bundles. Wrap each bundle tightly with half a piece of bacon.
04 -
Arrange bundles seam-side down on prepared tray. Drizzle olive oil over bundles, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
05 -
Mix brown sugar, soy sauce, and additional black pepper in a small bowl. Brush glaze mixture over bacon-wrapped bundles if desired.
06 -
Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until bacon is crisp and beans are tender. Rotate sheet once for even browning.
07 -
Allow bundles to cool slightly before serving. Transfer to a platter and serve warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Blanching green beans yields a vibrant colour and preserves a crisp-tender bite.
02 -
Applying glaze is optional for a sweet-savory finish; omit for a reduced-sugar option.
