Ingredients
- 1 Pound green beans French
- 1 Strips bacon
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon rosemary dried
- 1/2 Teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place bacon onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake the bacon at 350 for approx 15 minutes or until almost cooked, but not yet crispy.
- Take bacon out of the oven and set aside.
- While the bacon is cooking, season a large pot of water generously with salt and bring the water to a boil.
- When the water comes to a boil, add in the green beans. Cook the beans for approx 5 minutes until they are almost tender.
- Remove the green beans from the boiling water and immediately put them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- In a small bowl melt together the butter, maple syrup, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, and red pepper flakes.
- Gently dry the green beans off with a paper towel, or lint free clean kitchen towel.
- Pour the melted butter mixture over the green beans and toss to coat.
- Squeeze the ½ lemon over the top of the green beans and toss to coat.
- Increase the oven heat to 450 degrees F.
- Take a small bundle of green beans, maybe 8 to 10 at a time and wrap the center of the bundle with a strip of the bacon. You can secure the end with a toothpick.
- Place the bundle onto a baking sheet.
- Once you have wrapped all of the green beans, drizzle any leftover butter mixture from the green bean bowl over the top of the bundles.
- Bake the green beans for approx 15 minutes or until the bacon and green beans have a nice roasted color.
