Ingredients
Scale
Green Bean Bundles
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 6 slices bacon
Glaze
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and place a wire rack on top of a large cookie sheet to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare green beans: Wash and dry the green beans, trimming off the ends. Take 5 to 10 green beans and wrap them tightly in a strip of bacon, then place the bundles seam side down on the wire rack. Repeat with all green beans and bacon.
- Make glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar substitute and garlic powder until fully combined. Remove from heat.
- Apply glaze and season: Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the green bean bundles. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the bundles to taste.
- Roast covered: Cover the bundles with foil and roast in the oven for 35 minutes to cook the green beans and infuse flavors.
- Crisp bacon: Remove the foil and continue roasting for an additional 15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender.
Notes
- Use fresh green beans for best texture; frozen green beans can be used but may alter texture slightly. Avoid canned green beans as they may become mushy.
- Thin cut bacon works best for crispiness; thick cut bacon might not crisp as well.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your preference when seasoning.
