Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until the edges are crispy but still pliable, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the fresh green beans. Blanch for about 4 minutes, then transfer to iced water to halt cooking.
  3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Take 5-6 green beans, bundle together, and wrap tightly with a slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  6. Place the bundles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with the glaze. Bake for 7-10 minutes until crispy.
  7. Let cool slightly, remove toothpicks, and serve warm.
