Maple-Glaze & Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

The bacon is naturally caramelized in the maple syrup while the green beans are perfectly tender for the ultimate Thanksgiving side dish!

Ingredients

  • 12 oz. Haricot Verts Green Beans, trimmed
  • 6-12 strips of Bacon, preferably thin-cut and sugar-free
  • 3 tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
  • 3/4 tsp. Salt
  • 3/4 tsp. Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. 
  2. Cut the bacon strips in half. Add a small handful of green beans to the center of each half, then roll together, placing seam-side down on the pan. 
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and maple syrup with the cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. 
  4. Brush the bacon with the glaze then bake until crispy and golden brown, about 10-15 minutes. 
  5. Brush once more with the glaze (with a clean utensil), then serve warm. Enjoy!
