  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper A dash of pepper adds a subtle warmth and depth to the flavor profile.
For Garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley Adds a fresh touch and visual appeal.

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. This initial step ensures your bacon gets perfectly crispy while cooking.
  2. Trim the green beans by cutting off the ends to enhance presentation.
  3. Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for about 2-3 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water.
  4. Combine garlic salt, melted butter, brown sugar, and pepper in a bowl to create a seasoning mix.
  5. Wrap 8-10 green beans in half a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Arrange the bundles on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  8. Serve warm, sprinkled with chopped parsley for freshness.
