How to Make Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

Let’s walk through the steps in a way that keeps the stress low and the flavor high.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Crank that oven up to 400°F (200°C). This temperature gives the bacon just the right crisp without drying out the beans.

Step 2: Prepare the Green Beans

Wash and trim the ends.
If you want a little color boost—and who doesn’t—go ahead and blanch them for 2–3 minutes. Then shock them in ice water so they stay beautifully green. No one likes sad, dull beans.

Step 3: Assemble the Bundles

Grab 6–8 beans and gather them together like a tiny bouquet.
Wrap half a slice of bacon around each bundle. You can use a toothpick if needed, especially if your bacon has a mind of its own.

Step 4: Season and Drizzle

Line a baking sheet with parchment (this saves your sanity at cleanup time).
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and if you’re feeling fancy, mix up the glaze and drizzle that too.

The glaze adds a sweet-savory shine that screams, “I put effort into this,” even when you didn’t.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the beans are tender.
If you want extra crispiness, broil for the last 2–3 minutes—just don’t walk away. Broilers are sneaky.

Step 6: Serve

Let them cool for a minute, then transfer to a platter and serve warm.
At this point, people will flock to your kitchen asking, “What smells so good?”

Chef’s Tips for Perfect Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

• Choose thinner bacon. It cooks faster, crisps better, and won’t leave your beans overcooked.
• Don’t skip the parchment. Seriously. Your baking sheet will thank you.
• Make ahead friendly: Assemble earlier in the day and refrigerate until ready to bake.
• Lumpy glaze? Don’t panic. It melts beautifully in the oven—magic every time.

And because I love sharing little kitchen stories: these bundles became my go-to when my kids were little. I’d make them during holidays, and even my pickiest eater—yes, that child—would grab them by the handful. That’s when I knew this recipe was a lifer in our home.
