Ingredients
Ingredients at a Glance
-
Fresh green beans – go for firm, bright ones with no spots
-
Bacon – thick-cut holds bundles well, but regular works too
-
Melted butter – adds richness to the glaze
-
Brown sugar – light or dark both work; dark adds more depth
-
Soy sauce – for umami balance
-
Cheesy seasoning – like Dan-O’s Cheesoning, or use a blend of parmesan, garlic powder, and seasoning salt
Instructions
Bring salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 5–6 minutes until vibrant green. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking and lock in color.
In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, and cheesy seasoning until it forms a thick, flavorful paste.
Pat green beans dry. Take 5–7 beans and wrap them tightly with half a slice of bacon. Place each bundle seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Brush the glaze generously over each bundle, letting it drip down the sides. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30–35 minutes, until bacon is golden and crispy and the glaze is bubbling.
Notes
-
Blanch + Ice Bath = the secret to vibrant green beans
-
Thick-cut bacon makes wrapping easier and crisps beautifully
-
Let the glaze cool slightly before brushing—it sticks better
-
Use a rack over your baking sheet if you want maximum bacon crispness
