How to Make Asparagus Bundles Or Green Bean Bundles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the bundles: Wrap approximately 5 asparagus spears or green beans with ½ slice of bacon per bundle. Secure each bundle with a toothpick.

  4. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in ¼ cup packed light brown sugar and cook for another 4 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly caramelized.
  6. Pour the garlic-brown sugar butter sauce evenly over the asparagus or green bean bundles.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or 35 minutes at 350°F (175°C), or until the bacon is crispy and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks before serving.
