How To Make green bean bundles
-
1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier clean up or use an old baking sheet.
-
2Heat a large pot of water to boiling. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add green beans and cook for just 2 minutes. Drain hot water from the beans and place them in an ice water bath to immediately stop the cooking process. Dry the beans.
-
3Divide beans evenly, wrapping in the middle of each piece of bacon to create four bundles. Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
-
4In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar. Brush over green bean/bacon bundles.
-
5Bake for 15-18 minutes. Turn oven to broil and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Stay close by, as broilers are unpredictable.
