Instructions for Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles (Low Carb)
Partially cook bacon slices until they’re pliable but not completely crisp. This helps create the perfect wrap for green bean bundles.
Quickly boil green beans until they’re bright and tender, ensuring they maintain a satisfying crunch. Immediately cool them in cold water to stop cooking and preserve their vibrant color.
Drizzle warm bacon drippings over green beans, adding depth of flavor. Sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper for a zesty kick that complements the smoky bacon.
Group 6-7 green beans together and carefully wrap each bundle with a slice of partially cooked bacon. Secure with a toothpick to keep the bundle tight and compact.
Dust the bundles with a light sprinkle of monk fruit sweetener. Bake until bacon turns golden and crisp, creating a caramelized exterior that adds irresistible texture.
For those who love extra crispiness, quickly broil the bundles for a few minutes to achieve a perfectly crunchy bacon coating.

Description
Crispy bacon hugs green bean bundles in this irresistible keto-friendly side dish. Savory herbs and rich butter elevate simple ingredients, creating a delectable companion perfect when you want something special without compromising nutritional goals.
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon (cut in half for shorter pieces)
- 900 grams / 2 lbs green beans (trimmed; about 72–84 individual green beans)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsps brown monk fruit allulose blend
Instructions
- Preheat Preparation: Configure oven to 200°C / 400°F and position an oven-safe rack over a baking sheet for optimal heat circulation and even cooking.
- Bacon Preliminary Roasting: Lay bacon slices across the rack and roast for 10-15 minutes until partially cooked but not entirely crisp.
- Bean Blanching: Immerse green beans in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, achieving a crisp-tender consistency, then rapidly cool in ice water and thoroughly dry.
- Seasoning Fusion: Drizzle reserved bacon drippings over green beans, incorporating garlic powder and black pepper, ensuring comprehensive flavor distribution.
- Bundle Construction: Cluster 6-7 green beans together, encase each bundle with a bacon slice, securing with a toothpick to maintain structural integrity.
- Sweet-Savory Finishing: Sprinkle brown monk fruit allulose blend over each wrapped bundle for a nuanced flavor profile.
- Final Transformation: Bake for 10-15 minutes until bacon reaches desired crispness, optionally employing broiler for 2-3 minutes to enhance textural complexity.
Notes
- Bacon Precision: Choose thin, uniform bacon slices for consistent cooking and even wrapping around green bean bundles.
- Moisture Management: Thoroughly dry green beans after blanching to prevent soggy bacon and ensure crispy texture.
- Sweetener Strategy: Use monk fruit allulose sparingly to enhance flavor without overwhelming the savory profile.
- Toothpick Tip: Insert toothpicks at an angle through bacon and beans for secure bundling and easier removal after cooking.
