Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

  • Fresh Green Beans
  • 6 slices bacon, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce

How to Make Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the green beans.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 8 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
  4. While beans are cooking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until almost crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, garlic salt, and soy sauce.
  6. Lay out bacon slices. Place approximately 12 green beans onto each half-slice of bacon.
  7. Wrap bacon tightly around the green beans and secure with a toothpick.
  8. Place bacon-wrapped green beans on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Brush generously with the butter mixture.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and the glaze is bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
