1 1/4 lbs green beans look for thinner green beans
6 slices bacon cut in half, do not use thick-cut bacon
1 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional
cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the bacon on a sheet pan and bake for 7 minutes. Remove
the bacon from the oven.
Trim the ends of the green beans. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Place the green beans in the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and put the
green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Pat the green beans dry. In a small bowl mix together the garlic salt, butter, brown sugar and
pepper. Pour the butter mixture over the green beans and toss to coat.
Wrap 8-10 green beans with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place the green bean
bundles on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
