Method

Steps to Make Bundles

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Trim off the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
Cut bacon strips in half and wrap a piece around a bundle of 3-4 green beans, ensuring a snug fit.
Arrange the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Drizzle olive oil over the bundles and sprinkle with seasonings like garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bacon is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving on a platter.

Notes

Fresh green beans provide the best texture. Ensure bacon wraps snugly to prevent moisture loss. Store uneaten bundles in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
