Equipment

1 baking sheet with parchment

Ingredients

1 lb green beans fresh
8 slices bacon
2 tbsp butter melted
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp balsamic glaze
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until they’re bright green but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Pat them dry.
Take about 8 green beans and bundle them together. Wrap a slice of bacon around the center, securing it with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with the remaining beans and bacon slices.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the glaze generously over the green bean bundles.
Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. You can broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove toothpicks if used and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
