  • ½ teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400℉. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Gently place the green beans in the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Prepare a bowl with ice water.
    1 ½ Pounds French Green Beans
  • Drain and put the green beans in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
  • Drain and then pat dry with paper towels on a cutting board or plate. This is key!
  • Now, in a small bowl mix together the seasonings and butter. Pour the butter mixture over the green beans and toss to coat.
    1 teaspoon Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse Seasoning, ½ teaspoon Fine Sea Salt, ¼ Cup Butter, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Gather together about 7-10 green beans (depending on size). Take a slice of bacon, wrap it around the center of the beans and then secure with a toothpick. Roll the bacon in brown sugar.

  • Lay the bundle seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining beans, spacing things out so nothing is touching. This allows air and heat to circulate and crisp the bacon.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is crispy. Add fresh parsley as a garnish.
    1 Tablespoon Parsley
