Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add trimmed green beans and cook for 5-6 minutes until crisp-tender. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking and preserve the bright green color. Drain well.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, garlic seasoning, and soy sauce until it forms a thick, paste-like consistency. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Gather 5-7 green beans into small bundles. Wrap each bundle with a half slice of bacon, securing the beans together. The bacon should wrap around snugly but not too tight.

  4. 4

    Place the bacon-wrapped bundles on a rimmed baking sheet or in an oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle each bundle with a little extra garlic seasoning for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Brush or spoon the brown sugar glaze over each bundle, making sure to coat them well. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Let the bundles rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. The glaze will thicken slightly as it cools. Serve hot as an elegant side dish.

This thoughtful combination creates a perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and umami flavors that truly sets this dish apart from ordinary vegetable sides.

Get ready for a delightful interplay of textures and tastes. You'll savor the slight crispness of perfectly cooked fresh green beans, enveloped by perfectly cooked, savory bacon, all brightened by a sticky, sweet-and-savory glaze. This dish is designed to complement any main course, offering an impressive yet comforting addition to your table. The simple elegance of each bundle makes it feel special without being overly complicated.
