Perfect as a side or even an appetiser, they’ll become a new family favourite.

Bacon-Wrapped Green Bean Bundles

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

  • 8–10 slices of bacon (thin-cut for easier wrapping)

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

  • A sprinkle of red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Blanch the green beans in boiling water for 2–3 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

  3. Divide the green beans into small bundles of 6–8 beans. Wrap each bundle tightly with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  5. Place the bundles seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each bundle generously with the glaze.

  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and caramelised.

  7. Remove toothpicks, garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes, and serve warm.

Matlagingstips

  1. Velg tynn bacon: Tynnskåret bacon pakker seg lettere og chvis opp raskere i ovnen.
  2. Blanch først: Blanching de grønne bønnene sikrer at de holder seg møre og livlige under bakingen.
  3. Vend for jevn matlaging: Vend buntene halvveis i bakingen for jevn sprø bacon.
  4. Tilpass glasuren: Legg til et snev av lønnesirup eller honning for ekstra sødme, eller en smule røkt paprika for et røykfylt spark.
  5. Tannpirker valgfritt: Tannpirkere kan bidra til å holde buntene sammen, men å fjerne dem før servering gir en mer elegant presentasjon.

 

Serverer forslag

  • Par med stekt kalkun, skinke eller prime ribbe for et fullt feriemåltid.
  • Server som en forrett med en kremet dyppesaus, som honning sennep eller ranch.
  • Pynt med et dryss parmesan for et ekstra preg av smak.

 

Vanlige spørsmål

Spørsmål: Kan jeg lage disse på forhånd?
EN: Ja! Sett sammen buntene og kjøler dem (ukokt) i opptil 24 timer. Stek rett før servering.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg bruke frosne grønne bønner?
EN: Friske grønne bønner er best, men du kan bruke frosne bønner. Tine og klapp tørr før du pakker inn for å unngå overflødig fuktighet.

Spørsmål: Hvordan forhindrer jeg at baconet pakker ut?
EN: Bruk tannpirkere for å feste baconet eller overlappe endene tett og legg sømsiden ned på stekeplaten.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg gjøre denne retten glutenfri?
EN: Erstatter tamari eller en glutenfri soyasaus i glasuren for å holde oppskriften glutenfri.

Spørsmål: Kan jeg lufte disse i stedet for å bake?
EN: Absolutt! Kok buntene i luften frityrkokeren ved 190 ° C i 10–12 minutter, og vipper halvveis gjennom.
