Ingredients
- Fresh green beans, whole
- Bacon strips, cut in half
- Olive oil
- Lemon zest
Method
-
Begin by heating the oven to 350° F. Lightly oil the bottom of a shallow baking dish.
-
Wash and dry the green beans. Trim the ends and discard any beans that have damage.
-
Halve the bacon and wrap it around 6 – 8 beans. Place the bundles in the baking dish an inch apart (this will allow air to circulate and cook evenly).
-
Drizzle the bean bundles with olive oil and place in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
-
Remove from the oven and lightly season with salt and pepper. (Remember the bacon adds sodium so go light on the salt).
-
Grate with lemon zest for a bit of added flavor.
