Ingredients
  

  • Some of my fondest food memories are tied to my grandma's kitchen, where a pot of garden-fresh green beans would simmer with ham all day long. While I'll always cherish that slow-cooked classic, sometimes you need a side dish that's both elegant and quick. These Crispy Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles deliver all the savory, nostalgic flavor in a fraction of the time, making them a perfect, show-stopping addition to any meal!
  • 12 ounces (340 g / 12 oz) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) avocado oil
  • 8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • For vibrant green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately plunge them into an ice bath before wrapping. This helps them stay bright green and cook evenly.
  • For a sweet and savory glaze, mix 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) of soy sauce. Brush this mixture over the bundles during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
  • Assemble the bundles up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate them on the baking sheet, then just season and pop them in the oven when you're ready to bake.

Method
 

  1. Prepare your station: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Season the beans: In a medium bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with avocado oil until they are lightly and evenly coated.
  4. Assemble the bundles: Working with one half-slice of bacon at a time, tightly wrap a small bundle of 4-5 green beans.
  5. Place the bundle seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet to prevent it from unraveling.
  6. Repeat with the remaining beans and bacon.
  7. Season and bake: Arrange the bundles in a single layer, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Sprinkle them evenly with salt and pepper.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bacon is perfectly crisp and the green beans are tender-crisp.
